Value Perspectives in Indian Philosophy

by Bijaya Nanda Kar

The book consists of eighteen reflective essays on various titles, having mostly the undertonal emphasis on value in the Indian philosophical perspective. An attempt has been made, throughout the book, to highlight the point that the traditional Indian conception of dharma is predominantly ethical and not theological. That is why, dharma and darsana appear to be logical neighbours unlike religion and philosophy.The book aims at creating interest not only to the professionals who are already familiar with the issues with which it deals, but also to provide an introduction to the subject for the general reader without affecting its technical as well as critical temper.
