Biography
Stephen Phillips is professor of philosophy and Asian studies at the University of Texas at Austin. Author of seven books, including Yoga, Karma, and Rebirth (Columbia University Press), which was named an "Outstanding Academic Title" for 2010 by Choice, Phillips is best known for his first-time translations of late classical Sanskrit philosophic texts.
"Stephen Phillips' Epistemology in Classical India: The Knowledge Sources of the Nyaya School is a valuable resource, especially for students of Hindu or Buddhist philosophy. The book is successful in demonstrating the rigor with which Indian philosophers approach and attempt (or might attempt) to resolve matters of interest to philosophers today. For this reason, the book is useful to philosophers more generally." – Christopher G. Framarin, University of Calgary in Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
