Description:
In this groundbreaking work, Lallanji Gopal provides a comprehensive reconstruction of the pre-Ishvarakrishna history of Samkhya philosophy—one of the oldest and most influential Indian philosophical traditions.
Key insights include:
- A detailed chronological sequence of early Samkhya texts and thinkers.
- The historical development of Samkhya from Kapila to Ishvarakrishna.
- A critical re-examination of modern misconceptions, particularly the notion that Samkhya begins with Ishvarakrishna’s Samkhyakarika.
- How Samkhya evolved dynamically, undergoing changes, shifts, and debates rather than being a monolithic system.
- An analysis of dualistic realism, highlighting the interplay between prakrti (matter) and purusha (spirit).
This meticulously researched book, backed by a vast range of literary sources, is an essential read for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of Indian philosophy and intellectual history.
