Question

Accepted Answer

The six systems of Indian philosophy, also known as the 'Shad Darshanas', are a group of orthodox (astika) schools of thought. These include:Mimamsa and Vedanta: Both focus on the interpretation of the Vedas, with Mimamsa emphasizing rituals and Vedanta focusing on knowledge and liberation.Nyaya and Vaisheshika: Nyaya is concerned with logic and epistemology, while Vaisheshika deals with metaphysics and categorization of reality.Sankhya and Yoga: Sankhya provides a theoretical framework of dualism, and Yoga offers practical methods for spiritual realization.Lokayata and Kapalika do not form part of these six systems. Lokayata, also known as Charvaka, is a materialistic and atheistic school, while Kapalika is associated with certain ascetic practices and is not recognized as one of the orthodox schools.Source: Ancient India (Old NCERT for XI by Ram Sharam Sharma)
