Samkhya is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, system of
classical Indian philosophy. This book traces its history from the
third or fourth century B. C. up through the twentieth century. The
Encyclopedia as a whole will present the substance of the various
Indian systems of thought to philosophers unable to read the
Sanskrit and having difficulty in finding their way about in the
translations (where such exist). This volume includes a lengthy
introduction by Gerald James Larson, which discusses the history of
Samkhya and its philosophical contours overall. The remainder of
the book includes summaries in English of all extant Sanskrit texts
of the system.
