Samkhya’s tradition is among the most important and oldest in Indian intellectual history. Samkhya’s fundamental concepts, namely prakrti and purusa, buddhi and ahamkara and manas, provided the conceptual framework within which much of Indian philosophizing took place. The classical formulations of Yoga, Vedanta and many traditions of Buddhist philosophy, meditation, and yoga were all developed in accordance with the Samkhya’s intellectual perspective. On a cultural level, the influence of Samkhya over many centuries was also profound and significant in areas such as medicine, law, medicine and ancient science, logic, mythology and cosmology, and ritual. This study examines the Indian intellectual tradition and the traditions of historical critic to trace the Samkhya’s history. This book offers a new interpretation on the philosophical significance and uses purusa and prakrti in a classical way. The author also includes a Chart of the Twenty-five Basic Principles of the Samkhya and a Glossary of Samkhya Terminology. An additional Appendix reviews recent scholarly work in the field of Samkhya. There is also a discussion of Samkhya within the Puranas as well as a revised Bibliography.
