About the Book

The present edition of “Philosophy of Indian Sociology” deals with a critical examination of socio-sectarian nature of Indian philosophical movement. Here we look first at the outer layer of causality, the historical patterns of Indian state formation; then the rise and fall of religions tied in different ways to political and economic patronage; and finally the rise and fall of factional oppositions within the intellectual attention space which shaped the contents of future philosophical developments. Hence, it is hoped that the observations and findings of this edition will definitely generate further research interest in the social aspect of Indian philosophy.
