Jonardon Ganeri is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Liverpool.
Jonardon Ganeri's most recent contribution to the philosophically engaged study of Indian philosophy represents an interesting departure from much of his earlier work...Ganeri has not only fixed his attention on earlier moments in the history of the tradition, but has developed his insights in ways that reflect the cultivation of a distinctly literary sensibility. Dan Arnold, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
