Friends Event: The Six Systems of Hindu Philosophy

A talk by Ramesh Pattni of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies

Hinduism has a rich and diverse philosophical tradition dating back thousands of years to the Upanisads in the later Vedic period. The oldest of these constitute the earliest philosophical compositions known to man. These were elaborate and highly sophisticated doctrinal schemes and metaphysical speculation developed within Hinduism. The talk is an introductory bird’s eye view of the six classical Hindu philosophical systems.
