Books on Hindu Philosophy (darshana)

Philosophy in Hinduism is termed Astika (āstika) and refers to the six schools accepting the Vedas as authoritative: Nyaya (logic), Vaisheshika (atomism), Samkhya (enumeration), Yoga (Patanjali’s school), Mimamsa (Vedic exegesis) and Vedanta (based on the Upanishads). Together they also go by the name Shad-Darshana (‘six systems’).
