Reviews"This book . . . is not only for the Western student, but for all of us who must gauge our impacted twentieth-century world and find our path in its confusion."-- The New York Times, This book . . . is not only for the Western student, but for all of us who must gauge our impacted twentieth-century world and find our path in its confusion. -- The New York Times, This book . . . is not only for the Western student, but for all of us who must gauge our impacted twentieth-century world and find our path in its confusion., "This book . . . is not only for the Western student, but for all of us who must gauge our impacted twentieth-century world and find our path in its confusion." -- The New York Times, This long-awaited book gives a splendid coverage of indispensable source material in Indian philosophy. Both editors are uniquely qualified to choose the readings, which begin with the oldest theosophical-philosophical literature, the Rg Veda , and end with selections from Radhakrishnan's An Idealist View of Life , written in the twentieth century. Examples of Indian Philosophy from Vedic to contemporary times are provided in selections from well-known sources such as the Upanishads , Bhagavadgita , and the Laws of Manu and also from less commonly known works such as Kautilya's Arthasastra (with its interesting parallels with Machiavelli's Prince ), the Tattvopaplavasimha (with its extremist empiricism), and the Syadvadamanjari (thirteenth-century Jainism). Selections exemplifying the best of Nyaya, Vaisesika, Samkhya, Yoga, Purva-Mimamsa, the three major schools of Vedanta, and Sri Aurobindo are included. Many of these have been available in English translations in the nineteenth century scattered about in our major university and public libraries, but to have them all together in a single volume is a great boon to teachers and others concerned with Indian thought. An excellent bibliography and useful index are also provided.

SynopsisHere are the chief riches of more than 3,000 years of Indian philosophical thought-the ancient Vedas, the Upanisads, the epics, the treatises of the heterodox and orthodox systems, the commentaries of the scholastic period, and the contemporary writings. Introductions and interpretive commentaries are provided., Features significant works from the Vedic and Epic periods, the Heterodox and Orthodox systems, and contemporary Indian thought., A comprehensive and authoritative anthology of Indian philosophy, from antiquity to the twentieth century The Sourcebook of Indian Philosophy offers a comprehensive and authoritative introduction to the philosophical wisdom of ancient and modern India. Edited by two leading authorities, Indian philosopher-statesman Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and American philosopher Charles Moore, this compact anthology presents the chief riches of more than 3,000 years of Indian philosophical thought--the ancient Vedas, the Upanisads, the Bhagavad-gita and other epics, the works of the heterodox and orthodox systems (including Jainism, Buddhism, Yoga, and Vedanta), and modern writings. Featuring substantial selections from these key texts and systems, brief introductions to each selection, and a general introduction that gives a short history and outline of Indian philosophy, this anthology offers readers a thorough survey of India's great and lasting contribution to world thought.
