It is our great privilege to publish Studies In Indian Philosophy', by late Prof. R. D. Ranade, a doyen of Indian Philosophy.
The history of philosophy is its own critique. The historical process involves development, evaluation, attempt at cancellation and rehabilitation of doctrines. Different Darsanas of Indian philosophy have their own basic assumptions which they sometime share with others. Nyaya, Vaisesika, Samkhya, Yoga or Dvaita Vedanta all share the doctrine of the reality of the world. Similarly, Buddhism and Jainism, though very different in approach from Advaita Vedanta, share with the latter several epistemological doctrines. The Advaita system itself, to which Shri Ranade belongs, has developed on account of the intellectual warfare with other philosophical systems and the conflicts arising within the system itself. Comparisons and criticisms have always helped development of philosophical thought. This is borne out by the present work also, though briefly. We wish we had a fuller exposition of such comparison from this great master.
We are happy that we are able to publish this yet unpublished work during Professor Ranade's Birth Centenary Year. The Board deems it an honour that Shri Gurudev R. D. Ranade Samadhi Trust, Nimbal (R.S.), has asked the Board to under-take the publication of this Volume. What more befitting tribute can be paid to late Professor R. D. Ranade, than bringing to light his hitherto unpublished works?
