In <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/12343/9780197625934">Vatsyāyāna's Commentary on the Nyāya-Sūtra: A Guide</a> (Oxford University Press, 2023), Matthew Dasti unpacks a canonical classical Indian text, the Nyāyabhāṣya, while simultaneously demonstrating its relevance to contemporary philosphy. The commentary, the earliest extant on the Nyayasūtra, ranges over topics in metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of language, dialectics, and value theory. Dasti's guide includes his own translations of selections of the text and engagement with select interpretive controversies, such as a focused treatment of Vatsyāyāna's approach to logic in an appendix. Another appendix includes a reading plan and survey of relevant scholarship for readers looking to learn more about Vatsyayana and early Nyāya.<a href="http://www.malcolmkeating.com/">Malcolm Keating</a> is Associate Professor of Philosophy at <a href="http://www.yale-nus.edu.sg/">Yale-NUS College</a>.
