Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a translation of the lecture in the 1850 edition of the Tattva Samasa, a text from the philosophical tradition known as Samkhya. Thought to have been founded by the ancient sage Kapila, Samkhya is one of the six major schools of Indian philosophy and one of the oldest. This edition includes a commentary by J. R. Ballantyne. The Samkhya darshana is a system of dualism which posits purusha (soul) and prakriti (nature) as the ultimate realities. The text elaborates on the 25 tattvas or categories of existence and offers an innovative elucidation of reality. It explores the notion that the soul is pure consciousness, distinct from the material world. But the soul, deluded by its association with nature, identifies itself with its qualities and faculties, resulting in suffering. The text propounds a detailed account of the nature of the universe, the evolution of consciousness, the means of liberation, and the nature of ultimate reality. The book presents the tenets of Samkhya in a systematic and accessible manner, inviting readers to explore the ancient wisdom of Indian philosophy. It contributes to our understanding of the diverse philosophical traditions that have shaped human thought and spirituality for centuries, and underscores the enduring relevance of Samkhya's insights into the nature of existence. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
