This collection makes a significant contribution to one of the mostintriguing questions posed about ancient philosophy: whether the Greekand Indian traditions may have influenced one another. I came away fromit less skeptical about this than I had been before. Along withthought-provoking discussions of historical connections between thesetwo rich traditions, the book offers illuminating comparisons, forinstance of Pyrrhonism and Buddhism, Plato and Vasubandhu, and in-depthstudies of thinkers from both traditions.
