The Sánkya Aphorisms of Kapila (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book, a translation of a classic Sanskrit work, constitutes a valuable compendium of the central tenets of Samkhya philosophy, an ancient Indian philosophical school, and one of the six orthodox systems of Hindu philosophy. The book's contents are a condensation of three Sanskrit volumes, now difficult to find, which have been rearranged to enhance their clarity and accessibility. The text provides an exposition of the Samkhya school's foundational concepts, including its teachings on the nature of reality, the relationship between mind and matter, and the path to liberation from suffering. The book's exploration of these ideas positions Samkhya philosophy within the broader context of Indian philosophical thought, and offers insights that remain relevant to a contemporary audience interested in philosophy, religion, or the history of ideas.
