Indian philosophy is comprised of six traditional systems of thought which believe in the eternity and divinity of the Vedas. These six systems are: Nyaya, Vaisesika, Samkhya, Yoga, Mimamsa, and Vedanta – and three so-called heterodox systems: Carvaka, Jainism, and Buddhism. The traditional schools accept the authority of the Vedas, whereas the heterodox do not.
Nyaya and Vaisesika address epistemological questions, the first from the point of view of the subject or knower and the other from the point of view of the object of knowledge. Samkhya and Yoga are cosmological schools, the first addressing the question of the macrocosm and plurality, and the second, unity, the microcosm, and humankind as witness.
Mimamsa and Vedanta are primarily metaphysical systems, the former focusing on praxis or means and the latter on the nature of the end. The focal point of Jainism’s critique is the recognition that the Truth is always relative to a point of view, even if it seems absolute from a particular perspective. The hegemony of a single tradition as custodian of the Truth is thus broken.
Buddhism characterizes reality as suffering, and thus finds it essential to demonstrate the impermanence or momentariness (ksanabhangavada) of this reality, as the condition for the possibility of liberation (nirvana) from it. The Carvakas are materialists representing the lay point of view. Knowledge of their perspective is mainly derived from representations made by philosophers who opposed them. Here is a comprehensive selection of books covering all schools of Indian Philosophy.

Indian philosophy is concerned with the philosophical traditions and culture of India. There are two perspectives on this subject matter: the Vedic perspective and the modern perspective. The beliefs of Indians, however, are heavily inclined towards the teachings of the Vedic scriptures; the Vedas, Puranas, Upanishads, etc. The best source of knowledge of Indian philosophy is believed to be the Vedas (Rig Veda, Sama Veda, Yajur Veda, and Atharva Veda) which were compiled by Shri Vyasadev, the literary incarnation of Lord Shri Krishna.
