Author: Davies, John

Keywords: Samkhya, Sankhya, Philosophy, Sankhya Karika, Sanskrit

Description: This work studies the ancient Sanskrit text, Sankhya Karika composed by Ishwara Krishna. Sankhya Karika is the earliest surviving text of the Sankhya (or Samkhya) school of philosophy, one of the six schools of Indian or Hindu philosophy. This particular school is an exponent of enumerationist philosophy which exhorts rationalism. Yoga is attributed to the Sankhya school.
