Review Quotes:
"This collection makes a significant contribution to one of the most
intriguing questions posed about ancient philosophy: whether the Greek
and Indian traditions may have influenced one another. I came away from
it less skeptical about this than I had been before. Along with
thought-provoking discussions of historical connections between these
two rich traditions, the book offers illuminating comparisons, for
instance of Pyrrhonism and Buddhism, Plato and Vasubandhu, and in-depth
studies of thinkers from both traditions." --Peter Adamson, LMU Munich.
