About The Book: Sankhya-Sara: A Treatise of Sankhya Philosophy by Vijñānabhikṣu, edited by Fitzedward Hall, offers a scholarly commentary on Sankhya philosophy, exploring the dualism of prakriti (material world) and purusha (conscious self). Integrating Yoga and Vedanta, it discusses the universe, liberation (moksha), and consciousness-matter interaction. Hall’s edition includes both Sanskrit and English, making it a key resource for classical Indian philosophy. About The Author: Vijñānabhikṣu (15th-16th century), a Hindu philosopher from Bihar, synthesized Vedānta, Yoga, and Sāṃkhya into Avibhaga Advaita ("indistinguishable non-dualism"). A critic of Shankara’s strict non-dualism, he reinterpreted the Brahma Sutras, supporting Sāṃkhya's dualism of prakrti and purusha. His influential commentary Yogavarttika emphasized Brahman’s governance of both.About The Editor: Fitzedward Hall (1825–1901) was an American Orientalist and philologist who contributed to the Oxford English Dictionary.
