OPINIONS
All of them [the 17 essays in the volume] maintain a uniform level of excellence and bear the characteristic marks for which Prof. Hiriyanna’s writings were always famous — arrangement of ideas with an eye to their inner affinities, precision derived from first-hand acquaintance with the original texts, clear and lucid expression. These essays throw additional light on several topics dealt with in the author’s Outlines of Indian Philosophy and can be read as a supplement to that work.
Even advanced students of philosophy wijl stand to gain immensely by reading this book. — The Hindu
This is a collection of essays and papers . . . covering a wide range of time, 1917-1950. It thus affords us not only a picture of the development of Indian philosophic thought during the first half of the present century but also gives us some idea of the intellectual progress of the author himself . . . Prof. Hiriyanna’s scholarship is obvious as we read on.
. . . the book is excellently produced.
— The Indian Express
For those who have a genuine taste for philosophy here is a book that should not be missed . . . the presentation has a charm of its own; ... to the student who still fumbles amidst the vast literature of Indian Philosophy this book will prove to be a valuable guide.
. . . this handsome and moderately priced volume.
— The Bombay Chronicle
The contributions are brief and illuminating. Prof. Hiriyanna has a way of penetrating through a maze of material to the core of a subject. He has also the capacity to interpret ideas, clothed in almost unintelligible terminology of centuries ago, in such a way as to make them attractive to the modern man. — The Hindustan Times
