This volume is based on lectures delivered at Mysore University on Indian philosophy. It is divided into three parts, each containing a brief historical analysis, theory of knowledge, ontology, and practical mode of pedagogy. The author deals with Vedic and post-Vedic literatures, explaining the stages of pre-Upanishadic and Upanishadic writings and their philosophies. The post-Vedic period concerns writings such as the Srimada Bhagavad Gita and the philosophies of early Buddhist and Jain texts. The third part of this book covers Charvaka, Nyaya-Vaisheshika, Sankhya, Yoga, and Purva-Mimamsa philosophies, which are the six forms of philosophy known as shaddarshana. However, the author also explains Vedanta, Advaita, and Vishishtadvaita, which form the Dvaita-Advaita philosophy and gave birth to the Bhakti tradition in medieval India.
