Samkhya Philosophy: The School of Enumeration in Indian Thought
Introduction
Samkhya Philosophy, also known as Sankhya, is one of the six orthodox schools of Indian philosophy. The word Samkhya itself means “enumeration,” reflecting its systematic approach to understanding reality. It is widely believed that Sage Kapila was the original founder of this school, making Samkhya one of the earliest attempts in India to develop a rational and structured philosophical system.
