Abstract

Sāṃkhya is considered India’s oldest philosophical system, and it has also been argued that Sāṃkhya is not only one of India’s philosophical systems but is India’s philosophy. That Sāṃkhya can be called India’s philosophy is because Sāṃkhya forms the foundation for many philosophical and theological traditions and also characterizes many other Indian knowledge traditions. A diversity of traditions and interpretations characterize Sāṃkhya philosophy in the past and present. In the paper, I argue for some of this diversity, describe some different Sāṃkhya philosophies in Indian history, and discuss Sāṃkhya philosophy as doctrine and as practice.
