Abstract

The book Indian Philosophy by Dr. Thonglor Wongthamma provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental concepts and schools of Indian philosophical thought. It explores the diverse belief systems found across Indian religions and sects, and offers insightful analyses of how these ideas are interrelated and relevant to everyday life. The book covers key philosophical frameworks including Brahmanism-Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, S??khya, Ved?nta, Ny?ya, and Vai?e?ika. It also delves into the Bhagavad G?t?, emphasizing themes such as the importance of duty, detachment, and the pursuit of enlightenment.

This work underscores the idea that Indian philosophy is not merely theoretical, but a practical tool for personal and spiritual development. Understanding these philosophical systems enables individuals to become more self-aware, seek true happiness, and contribute to a peaceful and balanced society.

In summary, Indian Philosophy by Dr. Thonglor Wongthamma is not only a valuable resource for those interested in Indian thought, but also a practical guide that encourages readers to apply philosophical insights for meaningful self-development and mindful living.
