Philosophy, in its widest etymological sense, means ‘love of knowledge’. It tries to search for knowledge o himself, the world and God, and describes the Indian way of life as we know it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndian philosophy denotes the philosophical speculations of all Indian thinkers, ancient or modern, Hindus or non-Hindus, theists or atheists. Some believe ‘Indian philosophy’ to be synonymous with ‘Hindu philosophy’, however, this would be true only if the word ‘Hindu’ were taken in the geographical sense of ‘Indian’. But if ‘Hindu’ means the followers of a particular religious faith known as Hinduism, the supposition would be wrong and misleading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe authors have, with considerable merit, highlighted the significance of Indian views in terms of modern Western thought. An Introduction to Indian Philosophy is a seminal work covering topics as varied as the Carvaka, Jaina, Vaisesika, Mimamsa, Bauddha, Sankhya Systems, amongst others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface to the First Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface to the Second Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface to the Sixth Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface to the Seventh Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter I:\u003cbr\u003eGENEAL INTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003e1.
