This study seeks to disprove certain notions about the Carvaka\/Lokayata, particularly the following: that the Carvaka-s did not approve of any other instrument of cognition except perception; and that they advocated unalloyed sensualism and hedonism. This volume also seeks to establish the fact that there existed a pre-Carvaka school of materialism in India, although there is no way to prove that the Carvaka system grew out of it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919145517214,"sku":"ING-9780857284334","price":98.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780857284334.jpg?v=1782808511","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780857284334","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
