Apep Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I love Philosophy around the world. It is knowledge just begging to be understood. I am fairly new to Indian Philosophy. What are some of the best Indian philosophers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalkin714 Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Adi Sankara, Ramanuja, Madhva, Nimbarka, Vallabha and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu represnt the six major schools of Vedanta. All of these except Adi Shankara are Vaishnava sects. Kapila was the great sage of Sankhya philosophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the Indian web sites should be maintaing long lists. Please do a google search. You should find details on everyone starting from the buddhist times to the present day Osho and Sai Baba. Wikipedia may have a nice list too. Curiously, I was in Shanghai recently and discovered Wikipedia is blocked in Shanghai. Strange... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to search for other Indian philosophers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
