This is volume IX of 10 in the Oriental Series based on India and its language and literature and is concerned with a collection of the philosophy of the Upanishads and the ancient Indian metaphysics. Those interested in the general history of philosophy will find in this book an account of a very early attempt, on the part of thinkers of a rude age and race, to form a cosmological theory. The real movement of philosophic thought begins, it is true, not in India, but in Ionia; but some degree of interest may still be expected to attach to the procedure of the ancient Indian cosmologists. The Upanishads are so many  songs before sunrise,- spontaneous effusions of awakening reflection, half poetical, half metaphysical, that precede the conscious and methodical labour of the long succession of thinkers to construct a thoroughly intelligible conception of the sum of things. For the general reader, then, these pages may supply in detail, and in the terms of the Sanskrit texts themselves, a treatment of the topics slightly sketched in the third chapter of Archer Butler's1 first series of  Lectures on the History of Ancient Philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51862879732000,"sku":"NEW0415245222","price":366.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/417ZaI2P-FL.jpg?v=1781636615","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-philosophy-of-the-upanishads-and-ancient-indian-metaphysics-trubners-oriental-series-0415245222","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
