S**A
This Book is 'The' masterpiece on Indian Philosophy. The writer was Second President of the Republic of India.
This book could be subtitled as 'A Rational Analysis of Eastern Philosophy and Religion'. I am impressed by the ways Dr. S. Radhakrishnan writes: without taking any side, any bias, he tell the philosophical tales of each school of Indian Religion. The book appears to be synthesised with extreme care, word by word, and is laid chronologically with utterly rational and secular view. Writer sorts out every superstitious nonsense which prevailed as authority as he moves through the Dogmatic Post-Rig-Vedic period. This masterpiece comes in two volume. This is the first volume with 664 pages. It covers the ancient Indian religion; from Rig-Veda to Buddhism via. Upanishads, Epics, Jainism, The Bhagavad Gita. Can be read by both scholars and laymen. These couple of volumes are more than sufficient for any one willing to know or study Eastern thought.

8/10 -- overall — Delivery + Book Content / Quality.
I'm a student of Philosophy persuading masters. The book is amazing, I got the contents as I wanted. But need to improve the page quality a little bit & also, I want to share that please tell the delivery boy(s) to come to the door-step of the given location to deliver. I have seen this earlier also. However, some of them are good but not all. They want us to reach them to pick it from road side. And thanks for the fast delivery.

The best
This one is the best book on Indian philosophy,right from Vedas , to Buddhism, Jainism all is covered by the author in a comprehensive yet precise way. The second volume is about the 6 schools of Vedic philosophy , Although the second book makes a difficult read, the first one is easy to understand for any lay student of Indian philosophy. A must read for all those who want to understand Indian philosophical systems, first volume is a must before one takes on the second
