Description: The Central concerns of the Hindu philosophers were metaphysics, epistemological issues, philosophy of language and moral philosophy. The different schools can be distinguished by their different approaches to reality but all considered the Vedas (the sacred scriptures) authoritative; all believes that there is a permanent individual self (atman). They shared with their opponents (Buddhists and Jainas) a belief in the need of liberation. They used similar epistemic tools and methods of arguments. In contrast to their opponents, who were atheists, Hindu Philosophers could be either theists or atheists. Actually, we can observe an increased tendency towards theists idea never the end of the classical period resulting that the strictly atheistic teachings which were more philosophically rigorous and sound, fell into disuse. On the whole, this book explains the Hindu Philosophy of religion touching about every aspect. The Language and Presentation of the book will Artainly wake it usefulness and readable.
