Indian philosophical movement

Indian philosophical movements encompass diverse schools of thought developed over thousands of years, exploring questions of existence, consciousness, ethics, and the nature of reality. Key traditions include Vedanta, which examines the ultimate reality (Brahman) and the self (Atman); Samkhya, an analytical dualism of consciousness and matter; and Buddhism and Jainism, which focus on liberation through ethical living and mindfulness. These philosophies often emphasize introspection, spiritual growth, and understanding the interconnectedness of all life. Together, they form a rich intellectual landscape that influences spiritual practices, cultural values, and modern philosophical thought in India and beyond.
