In this valuable book Latika Chattopadhyaya departs from standard Indian accounts of the 'materialist' and 'skeptical' Carvakas and shows the variety of positions that have been traditionally classified as 'Carvaka' or Lokayata. The book constitutes a sanguine response to a lot of misinformation that characterizes the literature over the years concerning that school and correctly assesses the role of Carvaka both in technical philosophy and in Indian literature and culture at large.
