This is volume IX of 10 in the Oriental Series based on India and its language and literature and is concerned with a collection of the philosophy of the Upanishads and the ancient Indian metaphysics. Those interested in the general history of philosophy will find in this book an account of a very early attempt, on the part of thinkers of a rude age and race, to form a cosmological theory. The real movement of philosophic thought begins, it is true, not in India, but in Ionia; but some degree of interest may still be expected to attach to the procedure of the ancient Indian cosmologists. The Upanishads are so many \" songs before sunrise,\"-- spontaneous effusions of awakening reflection, half poetical, half metaphysical, that precede the conscious and methodical labour of the long succession of thinkers to construct a thoroughly intelligible conception of the sum of things. For the general reader, then, these pages may supply in detail, and in the terms of the Sanskrit texts themselves, a treatment of the topics slightly sketched in the third chapter of Archer Butler's1 'first series of \" Lectures on the History of Ancient Philosophy.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46929929797783,"sku":"9780415865807","price":4068.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415865807.webp?v=1771603423","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-philosophy-of-the-upanishads-and-ancient-indian-metaphysics-9780415865807","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
