Sāṃkhya spans the fields of philosophy, physics, metaphysics, psychology, and ethics. Although notably not theological, its key premises can be found in virtually all religious traditions that originate from India. Sāṃkhya espouses a reciprocity between Prakṛti, the realm of activity, and Puruṣa, the silent witness. It also delineates the phenomenal experiences that arise from Prakṛti, including the operations of the human body, the five great elements, and the eight mental states. Sāṃkhya proclaims that knowledge of world and self can lead to freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book presents a new translation of Īśvarakṛṣṇa's \u003ci\u003eSāṃkhya Kārikā\u003c\/i\u003e, with grammatical analysis.
