5.0 out of 5 stars Authoritative MasterpieceReviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 July 2023

As the name suggests its a first hand view of Vedas and Sutras of hindu shat darshan, along with a commentary, as opposed to a derivative reflecting an opinion of the author. Wish there were more on Indian philosophy like this. Dr. Radhakrishnan gives it the credibility much needed when reading such an important subject, and Moore does a brilliant job of organising, articulating and simplifying things. Very expensive book, yet worth a lot more than the price tag.

5.0 out of 5 stars and this book has been an excellent experience! GreatReviewed in the United States on 22 June 2015

I've read philosophy for some years, including Eastern philosophy, and this book has been an excellent experience! Great, concise picture of important works produced by India thousands of years ago but still valid if what you're looking for is something more than the discussion of theories not related to your daily, practical life. Although not a religious person, for the first time in my adult life I've started to find many, rational ways to reconciliate intuition and reason (the old Western, mainly fictious, dichotomy between heart and mind), and that's a lot! I recommend reading and re-reading, and studying and even making intimately yours (by heart) many of the teachings you'll find in A Source of Indian Philosophy

5.0 out of 5 stars Still the definitive bookReviewed in the United States on 23 March 2021

I don’t know why nothing with newer commentary has been created since I was in college, but it was neat that a child needed the same text that I had used. I know it’s a book that I held onto!
