Book Review: Philosophical Position of a Modern Cārvāka

  • Pradeep Gokhale

摘要

Indian philosophy unlike western philosophy has developed through darśanas which are known as systems or schools. Almost each system has grown through a source text, commentaries and sub-commentaries. The source texts are in the sūtra form or sometimes in kārikā form. Almost each system of Indian philosophy has three components—epistemology, ontology and axiology—the perspectives on pramāṇa, prameya and puruṣārtha. Sachchidanand Mishra’s Sanskrit work in Kārikā form along with its auto-commentary is a step towards fulfilling the need of a classical text which presents Cārvāka perspective in its sophisticated and strong form.
