A History of Indian Philosophy (Volume 2) provides an in-depth exploration of the development of philosophical systems across the Indian subcontinent. This volume covers both the major Vedic schools—Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Samkhya, Yoga, Mīmāṃsā, and Vedanta—and the significant non-Vedic schools, including Jainism, Buddhism, Ajivika, Ajñana, and Charvaka. It delves into the core philosophical thought of these traditions, focusing on Shankara Vedanta, the medical speculations of ancient Hindus, and the profound teachings of the Yoga Vasistha and the Bhagavad Gita.

Dasgupta received master’s degrees in Sanskrit and philosophy from Sanskrit College in Calcutta. During the early 1920s, he traveled to England, where he earned a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Cambridge.
