Volume 5 Indian Philosophy publication date

I hope so too! Actually if we do another volume's worth of India it will probably go up to the 20th c.

We actually had a hard time figuring out what to name this book. We wanted to leave scope for a further volume on later Indian thought, which ruled out just "Indian Philosophy" or something equally generic, so really we had to pick something like "Ancient" or "Classical," and "Ancient" was ruled out because we actually go pretty far into the AD centuries. Maybe "Early" but that is pretty bad in terms of marketing, makes it sound like it is before the really interesting stuff.

I don't really see why "Classical" is Eurocentric by the way. I mean, the Upanisads and Mahabharata etc are "classics" of the Indian tradition. So that was never a worry I had. My main hesitation about it was more potential confusion with the first podcast book that came out, "Classical Philosophy."

If you have a brilliant idea for an alternate title I would love to hear it, though it might be too late since OUP has started advertising the book already.

Great, thanks for getting a copy! Glad you like it.
