About the Book:
The Sankhya Philosophy: A Critical Evaluation of its Origins and Development by Professor S.G.M. Weerasinghe is a groundbreaking study that not only explores the philosophical structure of Sankhya, but also analyzes its historical evolution and its influence on the socio-cultural landscape of the Indian subcontinent.
This work offers a detailed examination of the Sankhya philosophy in its classical form, beginning with its roots in the Vedic Samhitas and progressing through the Upanisads, epic texts, and later developments. The book is divided into several critical chapters:
-
Chapters I-VII provide an overview of the general characteristics of Sankhya philosophy.
-
Chapters VIII-XIX offer a historical analysis, tracing the evolution of Sankhya from its origins to its influence in different periods of Indian history.
-
Chapters XX-XXIV critically examine the philosophical structure of the system, with an emphasis on epistemology, metaphysics, and cosmology.
-
Chapters XXV-XXVII engage in a comparative analysis of Sankhya concepts with Buddhist, Avestan, and Greek thought.
-
Chapter XXVIII, the conclusion, discusses the impact of Sankhya on various fields, including anthropology, medicine, psychology, sociology, literature, and mathematics.
This book is essential for anyone studying Indian philosophy, particularly those with an interest in Sankhya, Vedanta, and other classical systems of thought.
