Hindu Philosophy

This vintage book contains Theos Bernard’s 1947 monograph on Hindu Philosophy. It constitutes an attempt to outline the essence of the six classic systems of Hindu philosophy, namely: Nyaya, Vaisesika, Samkhya, Yoga, Mimamsa, and Vedanta. Only essentials of the systems are presented, which is done in clear, plain language, making this volume an ideal entry point into the subject. Contents include: “Purpose of Hindu Philosophy”, “Test of Philosophy”, “Influence”, “Samkara”, “Ramanuja”, “Madhva”, “Saktism”, “Nyaya”, “Purpose”, “Scope”, “Philosophy”, “Literature”, “Vaisesika”, “Purpose”, “Scope”, etcetera. Theos Casimir Bernard (1908 - 1947) was an author and explorer, most famous for his work in the fields of yoga and religious studies, especially Tibetan Buddhism. Many antiquarian texts such as this, are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
