Dialogues on the Hindu Philosophy, Comprising the Nyaya, the Sankhya, the Vedant: To which is added a Discussion of the Authority of the Vedas

This book contain an excerpt from Dialogues on Hindu Philosophy, including Nyaya, Sankhya, and Vedanta, along with a discussion on the authority of the Vedas, The dialogues aim to accomplish two objectives firstly, to present an accurate and authentic portrayal of Hindu philosophical doctrines, and secondly, to propose effective approaches for engaging the Hindu mind. To achieve the first objective, we have relied on original sources and allowed the ancient Rishis to speak for themselves. For the second objective, we have utilized arguments used by proponents of different schools of thought to advocate for our cause. Hence, we have enlisted the support of Kanada, Kapila, and Ramanuja to counter Vedanta, and we have capitalized on Sankaracharya's potent arguments against Nyaya and Sankhya. Not too long ago, approximately fifty years back, politicians and statesmen expressed immense admiration for Hindu philosophy, both in official documents and during speeches delivered in the British Parliament.
