This volume is based on lectures delivered at Mysore University on Indian philosophy. It is divided into three parts, each containing a brief historical analysis, theory of knowledge, ontology, and practical mode of pedagogy. The author deals with Vedic and post-Vedic literatures, explaining the stages of pre-Upanishadic and Upanishadic writings and their philosophies. The post-Vedic period concerns writings such as the Srimada Bhagavad Gita and the philosophies of early Buddhist and Jain texts. The third part of this book covers Charvaka, Nyaya-Vaisheshika, Sankhya, Yoga, and Purva-Mimamsa philosophies, which are the six forms of philosophy known as shaddarshana. However, the author also explains Vedanta, Advaita, and Vishishtadvaita, which form the Dvaita-Advaita philosophy and gave birth to the Bhakti tradition in medieval India. This book is highly recommended for those interested in the complexities of Indian philosophies and the problems associated with their assessment.
