| Indian philosophy
reflects some of the earliest thought-traditions in human history. Its
foundations can be traced to ancient minds and their capacity for insatiable
curiosity and constant meditation. The Indian thinkers of old aimed their
pragmatic philosophies at not just the satisfaction of intellectual curiosity
or pursuit of theoretical truths but actually the assimilation of
intellectually discerned and established truths into one’s own personality
for a life of freedom and enlightenment. This is true of modern Indian
philosophers, like Sri Aurobindo and Dr. Radhakrishnan, as well. Fundamentals
of Indian Philosophy reflects the vastness and richness of this philosophic
tradition in a comprehensive and all-embracing yet compact presentation that
lays bare the essentials of Indian philosophy. Dr. R. Puligandla takes
special care to emphasise the methods, temper and goals of Indian philosophy
even while delving into the specificities. All the major schools of the
philosophic tradition are objectively and thoroughly analysed — the Carvaka
materialism, Jainism, Buddhism, Yoga, Vedanta among them. The author details
the undeniably bold and original ideas of the Indian thinkers — that awe the
reader at times with their brilliant insight and element of truth — in an
approach sincerely aimed at an all-round understanding of the basics of
Indian philosophy. This survey not only introduces the readers to issues and
answers but also goes to provide the necessary motivation and resources for
further study. Complete with an extensive index and a glossary of Sanskrit
terms, this text book would prove to be invaluable for students keen to
acquire a thorough grounding in the subject. It will also serve as an
indispensable reference book for professors and scholars of Indian
philosophy. |
