Gokhale, PradipaAuthor
Gokhale, PradåipaAuthor
Philosophy in Indian tradition as a purely secular and rational exercise can be located in the Lokāyata/Cārvāka school of Indian philosophy. Due to the lack of substantial literary sources, scholars did not try to explore Lokāyata philosophically. The present work is the first attempt to explore the philosophical energies inherent in the scattered Cārvāka literature through critical and analytical discussions firmly grounded in textual evidences.
