505 _aSummary:Philosophy, in its widest etymological sense, means 'love of knowledge'. It is a search for knowledge of oneself, the world and God. This volume provides an authoritative introduction to the central ideas and tenets of Indian philosophy. Indian philosophy denotes the philosophical speculation of all Indian thinkers, ancient or modern, Hindus or non-Hindus, theists or atheists. The authors have, with considerable merit, highlighted the significance of Indian views vis-a-vis modern Western thought. An Introduction to Indian Philosophy is a seminal work covering topics as varied as the Carvaka, Jaina, Vaisesika, Mimamsa, Bauddha and Sankhya systems, amongst others. -- Back cover
