In the light of the fresh reading, a critical appraisal is also proposed in the work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Carvaka\/Lokayata darsana is found to have  a notable place in the clasical Indian philosophical tradition.  Its referenceis found in the earliest sources like the Veds\/Upanishads, the Buddhist suttas, the jaina tretises, the Ramayana and the Mahabharat, inclusive of some puranic and sastric works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is needless to point out that the philosophy of Carvaka has been dealt with a cursory treatment in traditional Indian philosophical literature. Even in modern writings, there are not much philosophical probing to bring to focus the logical foundation of the Carvaka point of view. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaucity of original source-material is, of course, an impediment for such investigetion. But, nevertheless, attempts have been 'made by few researchers to present a viable account of the Carvaka stand, scannig out the unsound filthy observations, especially made by the opponents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eCarvaka and Knowledge\u003cbr\u003eCarvaka and Materialism\u003cbr\u003eCarvaka and Atheism\u003cbr\u003eCarvaka and Morality\u003cbr\u003eCarvaka and Self\u003cbr\u003eCarvaka and Socio-Individual Relationship\u003cbr\u003eConclusion \u003cbr\u003eSelect Bibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Bijayananda Kar \/ Motilal Banarsidass \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153727222128,"sku":"32768","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/32768.jpg?v=1793913206","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/the-philosophy-of-lokayata-a-review-and-reconstruction","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
