“The book is clear, concise, and authentic. This book is highly recommended by the general public. The author simplified the text without obscuring any important points. — Liverpool Daily Post’’To tell the entire story of Hindu philosophy within a compass of 200 pages requires not only a sense for proportion, but also the ability to select the right information. These two characteristics are evident in the book. These characteristics are prominent in this book. The Guardian (Madras).
This work is a simplified and shorter version of the previously published Outline of Indian Philosophy. It does not include many details from the previous Outline of Indian Philosophy. This is in keeping with the author’s stated goal. However, the difference between them does not just consist in these omissions. There are also differences in how certain topics are treated, such as in the two chapters on early Indian thought. There are also important additions in at least two cases. The earlier book dealt with Buddhism in terms of two stages of its development. The third phase is the original teachings of Buddha. A brief summary of this doctrine, as it has been reconstructed over recent years, can also be found here. The inclusion of the Dvaita system has also enriched the Vedanta account. It is hard to avoid using Sanskrit terms when dealing with a subject like Indian Philosophy. However, their numbers in the text have been reduced to a minimum and a Glossary has been included to assist the reader in understanding their meanings. The Essentials of Indian Philosophy provides a concise, connected account, with interpretation and criticism within the bounds of the volume. The Essentials of Indian Philosophy is a concise and connected account of Indian philosophy. Interpretation and criticism are included within the bounds of the volume. A brief introduction chapter summarizes Vedic philosophy and religion, followed by Indian thought with the post-Vedic period as well as the age of these systems. Each natural division is accompanied by a brief history and an explanation of the theory, ontology, and practical teaching. You will find a glossary of Sanskrit terms as well as a subject-index.
