Self, Society and Value: reflections on Indian Philosophical Thought

Shashiprabha Kumar (Author)

Synopsis The present volume is a collection of fourteen on various aspects of Indian philosophical thought which do not directly deal with specific issues from an analytical standpoint but delve deep into some underlying ideas of Indian modes of thinking. The chapters included here are based on Veda, Upanisad, Bhagavadgita, Vedanta, Vaisesika and Yoga, besides Jaina and Buddhist systems of Indian tradition. Although the titles or the topics might apparently seem to be diverse or different, yet there is an inherent consistency, which is unique to the Indian philosophical thought. The same has been brought out in these articles on three broad aspects, i. e., Self, Society and Value.
