BOOK SUMMARY OF KURMA PURANA PT. 2 (AITM VOL. 21):ANCIENT INDIAN TRADITION AND
MYTHOLOGY (VOL. 21)
The word 'philosophy' as well as the conjuring expression 'Indian philosophy'
has meant different things to different people-endeavours and activities, old
and new, grave and frivolous, edifying and banal, esoteric and exoteric. In this
book, the author has chosen deliberately a very dominant trend of the classical
(Sanskrit) philosophical literature as his subject of study. The age of the
material used here demands both philological scholarship and philosophical
amplification. Classical pramanasastras usually deal with the theory of
knowledge, the nature of inference and language, and the related questions of
ontology
