Charles A. Moore / Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan
A comprehensive and authoritative anthology of Indian philosophy, from antiquity to the twentieth centuryThe 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.
