Building on his previous work, \u003cem\u003eIndian Philosophy: A Counter Perspective\u003c\/em\u003e (1991), Daya Krishna challenges widely held views about the spiritual and intellectual legacy of India. The book includes articles that reflect on the foundational aspects of Indian philosophy and explore deep questions regarding the Vedas, Upanishads, Nyaya Sutras, and other classical texts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough essays such as \"Is Indian Philosophy Theological in Character?\" and \"The Yoga-Sutras: The Undeciphered Text,\" Krishna seeks to uncover hidden truths and problems within traditional philosophical thought. The essays scrutinize the contradictions and unresolved issues in the classical texts, offering new ways of understanding these ancient writings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the topics addressed in this volume are the interpretations of the Vedic corpus, the myths surrounding Indian philosophy, the philosophical concept of Moksha, the doctrine of Karma, and the question of whether Vedanta and Samkhya really mean what we think they do. The book also delves into issues like the relationship between consciousness, materiality, and spirituality, and critiques traditional conceptions of the Purusharthas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKrishna emphasizes the importance of not simply accepting the well-established views but instead questioning and critically rethinking these philosophies. His work challenges the orthodox view of Indian philosophical history, aiming to revive these intellectual traditions and make them relevant to contemporary philosophical concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection offers a detailed exploration of India's intellectual past and provides an in-depth critique of the commonly accepted picture of Indian philosophy, urging readers to re-evaluate and develop their own understanding. The book is an essential read for anyone interested in a fresh, critical perspective on Indian philosophy and its role in modern intellectual discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shri Satguru Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49980886188336,"sku":"DRG.ShriSatguruPub_9788170308454","price":1700.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/shri-satguru-publications-book-default-title-indian-philosophy-a-counter-perspective-41378782839088.webp?v=1775966878","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/indian-philosophy-a-counter-perspective","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
