Introduction to Indian Philosophy

"Introduction to Indian Philosophy" presents a comprehensive exploration of ancient Indian wisdom and its enduring relevance to humanity's fundamental questions about truth, consciousness, and purpose.

The book traces the evolution of Indian philosophical thought from the Vedic period through to contemporary interpretations, offering readers a structured journey through both orthodox schools (including Nyaya, Vedanta, and Yoga) and heterodox traditions like Buddhism and Jainism.

At its core, the book examines three interconnected themes: the relationship between consciousness and reality, the nature of knowledge (pramana), and the pursuit of liberation (moksha). Through careful analysis of key concepts such as dharma and karma, the text demonstrates how Indian philosophy provides unique frameworks for understanding human experience and moral responsibility.

The book's progression from foundational concepts to advanced philosophical arguments makes complex ideas accessible while maintaining scholarly rigor. What sets this work apart is its ability to bridge ancient wisdom with contemporary relevance, drawing connections to modern psychology, cognitive science, and quantum physics.

The text skillfully weaves together primary sources like the Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita with current academic scholarship, making it valuable for both university students and spiritual practitioners. By examining practical applications in ethics, psychology, and spiritual practice, the book demonstrates how these ancient philosophical systems continue to offer meaningful insights for modern life.
