DOI: 10.1558/equinox.41673

Blurb:

This chapter begins with a consideration of the most widely adopted philosophical position throughout the world and history, that is, dualism. Dualism is cognitively and affectively appealing. The chapter then goes on to consider the six systems of philosophy classically associated with Hinduism, that is, the darshanas.
