A glossary of Sanskrit terms and a subject index are provided.

About the Author:
The author has simplified without distorting and left no fundamental point uncovered. To present within the compass of two hundred pages the whole story of Hindu philosophy demands not only a sense of proportion but also gift of proper selection.

''To present within the compass of two hundred pages the whole story of Hindu philosophy demands not only a sense of proportion but also a gift of proper selection. Both these characteristics are prominent in this book... The contents of the book fully justify the claim that it offers a concise and connected account of Hindu philosophy, providing interpretation and criticism with limits.'' - --The Guardian (Madras)
