## Description

From the Publisher About the book Rated as classics, these two volumes comprehensively survey Indian thought from the Rig Veda to Ramanuja. They authoritatively showcase ancient philosophical texts and relate them to contemporary issues of philosophy and religion. The first volume focuses on the general characteristics of Indian philosophy and discusses the development of philosophical thought during the Vedic and Epic period while the second discusses the six philosophical systems, the gradual decline of the philosophic spirit, the impact of the West, and the future prospects and possibilities. This second edition, with a new Introduction by eminent philosopher J.N. Mohanty, highlights the continuing relevance of the two volumes and the philosophic tradition they represent both to scholars and serious lay readers.

Review: 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.

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.
