74Facing the boundaries of epistemology: Kumārila on error and negative cognition (review)Journal of Indian Philosophy 38 (1): 39-48. 2010.Kumārila’s commitment to the explanation of cognitive experiences not confined to valid cognition alone, allows a detailed discussion of border-line cases (such as doubt and error) and the admittance of absent entities as separate instances of cognitive objects.

47The Reuse of Texts in Indian Philosophy: IntroductionJournal of Indian Philosophy 43 (2-3): 85-108. 2015.The study of textual reuse is of fundamental importance in reconstructing lost or partially lost texts, passages of which can be partly recovered through other texts in which they have been embedded.
