Synopsis There is no dearth of books written on Indian Philosophy down the years and yet another addition to this field may call forth some explanation.  To put it in a nutshell, it is the sheer magnitude of the problems discussed in Indian Philosophy as well as the ever-widening perceptions of it in the scholarly world which prompted us to organize an eight-day seminar on Contemporary Approaches to Indian Philosophy and to make the proceedings available to the public through this volume.  Even though we do not make any tall claim that these studies make a dramatic breakthrough from the approaches of yesteryears, it is our earnest hope that a discerning reader of this volume will not fail to register some important developments which have taken place in our perceptions.
