Summary: The work An Anthology of Indian Philosophy, as its title suggests, is a collection of essays written at various times and in different contexts, primarily for presentation at international conferences held across the globe. These essays underscore the existence of a genuine and authentic indigenous philosophy in India, capable of offering rational explanations to universal philosophical inquiries. Challenging the assertions of the majority of Western philosophers-who claim that philosophy originates solely from Greece and that there is no philosophy beyond the Greek tradition-the intercultural philosophical movement highlights the diverse philosophical traditions of various cultures and regions. India, with its rich and longstanding philosophical heritage, holds a prominent place in this discourse. Each essay in the anthology reflects the Indian perspective on the theme being addressed. The twenty essays in this volume are organized into three sections: 1 The first seven essays explore intercultural themes. 2 The next seven focus on philosophical and soteriological themes. 3 The final six essays examine social and pedagogical themes.
