Hey Jane!!! There's another book that helps me, it's really simpler but it boils down one or two issues from each school... I'm going to put it up on my site. Contemplating Reality by Andy Karr

I am struggling through the Treasury of Philosophical Systems too. Really interesting to see how many ideas in 18th - 20th c. European philosophy were anticipated two to three thousand years ago in India! As someone trained in Western philosophy I often find the terminology/translation frustrating. So at the moment I'm rather intimidated by it.

I'd love to read 'Basic Space' when the time rolls around for it.
