Apep 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2006 I love Philosophy around the world. It is knowledge just begging to be understood. I am fairly new to Indian Philosophy. What are some of the best Indian philosophers? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All of these except Adi Shankara are Vaishnava sects. Kapila was the great sage of Sankhya philosophy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the Indian web sites should be maintaing long lists. Please do a google search. You should find details on everyone starting from the buddhist times to the present day Osho and Sai Baba. Wikipedia may have a nice list too. Curiously, I was in Shanghai recently and discovered Wikipedia is blocked in Shanghai. Strange... Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will have to search for other Indian philosophers as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
