Summary: "The Sarva-Darsana-Samgraha" by Madhava is a foundational work on Hindu philosophy, likely written in the 14th century. It is a comprehensive review that examines the various philosophical systems of Hindu thought and critiques them from the perspective of Vedanta. The book provides insights into the differing beliefs and arguments of the time, showcasing the unique characteristics of each system while defending Madhava’s own Vedantic views. The opening of the text introduces the author and sets the stage for a systematic exploration of sixteen philosophical systems, beginning with the Chárváka school. Madhava's discussion presents the Chárváka as fundamentally materialistic and atheistic, emphasizing sensory experience as the primary source of knowledge, thereby denying the existence of an immortal soul or higher spiritual truths. This section illustrates the contrasts between Chárváka's hedonistic outlook and other philosophical doctrines, establishing a critical tone that will characterize the subsequent analysis throughout the work. The introduction also hints at Madhava's keen critical reasoning and his aim to engage with these diverse philosophies meaningfully, reinforcing the importance of understanding the philosophical landscape of his time.
