Exploring Indian Philosophy: Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Samkhya, Raja Yoga, Purva Mimamsa and Vedanta

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Known as Darshanas in Sanskrit, Indian philosophy includes Hindu, Buddhist and Jain schools of thought with the consistent thread of Dharma and the acquisition of emancipation. Dating to 1,000 BC, Indian philosophy has several schools which may overlap while also being at odds with each other. This book focuses on the differences of these schools, specifically the Nyaya school of logic, the Vaisheshika atomist school, the Samkhya enumeration school, the Raja Yoga school of Patanjali, the Purva Mimamsa and the Vedanta.
