This volume examines the similarities between the Indian and Latin American philosophical traditions while also highlighting how these similarities have materialized differently in the Indian or in the Latin American context. The essays in the volume use identifiable conceptual categories that not only pairs some of the Indian philosophical works with corresponding Latin American philosophical works but also highlight the differences and unique developments in each philosophical tradition. Most importantly, the volume will include a common and combined glossary of philosophical categories or expressions in both traditions. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of philosophy, Latin American and South Asian studies.
