About the Book
This insightful volume offers a perceptive analysis of the social significance of the Charvaka (Lokayata) school of philosophy, one of the most radical materialist traditions in classical Indian thought. Hemanta Gangopadhya explores how Charvaka ideas challenged orthodox religious doctrines and ritualistic authority.
The book situates Charvaka philosophy within its socio-historical context, examining its emphasis on empirical knowledge, skepticism toward metaphysics, and critique of supernaturalism. By highlighting its relevance to contemporary debates on rationalism and secular thought, the author demonstrates the enduring vitality of this ancient materialist tradition.
Spanning 112 pages, this paperback provides a concise yet powerful introduction to Charvaka philosophy and its broader social implications.
