About this title

Review

Dan Arnold once again leads us through a brilliant and original exercise in cross-cultural philosophy. He gives a lucid account of the epistemology of the great Indian Buddhist thinker Dharmakirti and then sets him into robust conversation with other philosophers of mind, both Indian and Western, illuminating important issues in Buddhist thought, the philosophy of mind, the study of Buddhism and neuroscience, and the relation between humanistic and scientific inquiry.--Roger Jackson, John W. Nason Professor of Asian Studies and Religion, Carleton College

I recommend Brains, Buddhas, and Believing to anyone interested in philosophy of mind and to those who would like to learn about a vigorous non-Western philosophy often thought of in purely practical rather than theoretical terms.--Thomas Leahey"PsycCritiques" (01/01/0001)

The book is strong both philosophically and philologically, with Arnold's characteristic erudition, analytic rigor, interpretive sensitivity, and enthusiasm evident throughout.--Richard Nance"H-Buddhism" (01/01/0001)

The book admirably shows how the philosophical views of Dharmakirti and others are not just exhibits in the Indian Wing of the Museum of the History of Ideas, but positions that are of considerable importance in our attempts of addressing contemporary philosophical problems.--Jan Westerhoff"Religions of South Asia" (01/01/0001)

...an important work of philosophy...--Charles Goodman"Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews" (01/01/0001)

"Brains, Buddhas, and Believing" is outstanding. It is exegetically robust, providing richly informed expositions of historical positions.... It is exciting and refreshing to read a book that coherently explicates common issues between distinct intellectual traditions with such philosophical rigor and independence of thought.--Bronwyn Finnigan"Journal of Religion" (01/01/0001)
