Spanning four major sections, the book delves into Indian epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, and philosophy of religion. Unlike traditional approaches, it treats each school of Indian philosophy individually, providing a unique perspective on the rich tapestry of Indian thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book addresses a range of themes, including the sources of cognition, the nature and criteria of true knowledge, the problem of error, materialism, realism, dualism, Indian theories of causation, reflective morality, the ethics of non-violence, Indian atheism, and the concept of God in Indian religion. Through these discussions, the author challenges the prevalent notion that Indian philosophy is inherently religious, spiritualistic, and pessimistic. Instead, they argue that the doctrine of Karma, transmigration, and rebirth, strictly speaking, is incompatible with the Indian ways of thinking and, in fact, represents an imposition upon them from outside.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Indian philosophy, providing a deep and nuanced understanding of the diverse schools of thought and their contributions to the philosophical landscape. It offers insights into the core concepts and debates that have shaped Indian philosophy throughout its history, and serves as a foundation for further exploration and study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 700g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032572536\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nikunja Vihari Banerjee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44770905915642,"sku":"9781032572536","price":33.31,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_03a304ef-bebc-431c-8fd2-89adca1c1020.jpg?v=1699977779","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-spirit-of-indian-philosophy-9781032572536","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
