Nilanjan Das works on epistemology and Sanskrit philosophy. In epistemology, he thinks about connections between self-knowledge and rationality. In Sanskrit philosophy, he focuses on debates between Buddhist and Brahminical thinkers about the nature of the self, knowledge, and self-knowledge. He is currently writing a book on the 12th-century Indian philosopher and poet, Śrīharṣa.
Dr. Das is also one of the organizers of the London Group for Formal Philosophy and an associate editor of MIND.
