It views reality and human experience as composed of two independent principles, puruṣa ('consciousness' or spirit); and prakṛti, (nature, including the human mind and emotions). Puruṣa is the witness-consciousness. It is absolu...
According to Ruzsa, about 2,000 years ago "Sāṅkhya became the representative philosophy of Hindu thought in Hindu circles", influencing all strands of the Hindu tradition and Hindu texts. Between 1938 and 1967, two previously unknown manuscript editions of Yuktidipika (ca. 600–700 CE) were discovered and published. Yu...
