The back cover claims to be a critical study of important epistemological theories of monistic advait Vedanta. I have only read small summaries of these theories so this should be interesting :)

Read 5 ways so far - Perception, Comparison, Non-cognition, Inference and Postulation. Next up is the trickiest one Word/testimony. Much like christian scholars (Augustin and like.. ) Indian orthodox schools took Vedic hymns as Word of God and hence truth. The table of content suggests this is a different kind of interpretation based on theory of word, language, sentences. Well still 100 pages to go.

Spent my entire Sunday reading these dense 100 pages about various ideas on Perception. Previous exposure to various schools of Indian phil. helps, but the author is also relying on Russel and various other western thinkers.
