A landmark work in the academic study of South Asian thought, Outlines of Indian Philosophy presents a comprehensive and systematic survey of the major philosophical traditions of India, from the early Vedic period through the classical schools of Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain thought. M. Hiriyanna guides readers through the intricate doctrines of the Upanishads, the six orthodox DarĆanas, and the heterodox systems with remarkable clarity and scholarly precision. Written in a measured, authoritative tone, the text carefully distinguishes between schools of thoughtâsuch as Advaita VedÄnta, SÄáčkhya, NyÄya, and MÄ«mÄáčsÄâwhile illustrating the historical and intellectual connections that bind them together. Hiriyanna argues that Indian philosophy constitutes a rigorous and self-sufficient intellectual tradition deserving the same serious engagement as any Western philosophical canon. Widely regarded as an essential introductory text for students and scholars alike, it remains one of the most lucid and reliable overviews of the subject ever written in English.
