About the Book:
Here is the magnificent attempt made at a constructive survey of Indian psychology. The work is divided into three volumes. Volume One makes a minute and detailed discussion of the problem of perception and cognition. Volume Two deals comprehensively with questions associated with emotion and will. Volume Three is exclusively devoted to the analysis of epistemology and its perceptional aspect. Indian Psychology created a new standard in scholarly work on its first publication by Kegan Paul in the thirties. The present reprint of all the three volumes of this classic meets the needs of students and teachers of Indian psychology as well as the general reader interested in the study of Indian philosophical-psychological literature.
