Hindu Philosophy, the Sankhya Karika of Iswara Krishna: An Exposition of the System of Kapila (1894)

Hindu Philosophy, The Sankhya Karika Of Iswara Krishna: An Exposition Of The System Of Kapila (1894) is a book written by John Davies that provides a comprehensive analysis of the Sankhya philosophy, which is one of the oldest schools of Indian philosophy. The book is based on the Sankhya Karika, a text written by Iswara Krishna, which outlines the Sankhya system of Kapila. The Sankhya philosophy is a dualistic system that posits the existence of two ultimate realities, purusha (consciousness) and prakriti (matter), and explores the relationship between them. The book provides a detailed explanation of the Sankhya system, including its metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical dimensions. It also discusses the various concepts and principles of the Sankhya philosophy, such as the three gunas (qualities), the twenty-five tattvas (categories), and the fourfold aim of life. The book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the Sankhya philosophy or Indian philosophy in general.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
