"The Sarva-Darsana-Samgraha" by Madhava is a philosophical text written in the 14th century. It systematically reviews sixteen philosophical systems that flourished in India at the time, presenting their key tenets and principal arguments. The systems are arranged from an Advaita Vedanta perspective, forming an ascending series that culminates in non-dualistic thought. The work provides rare insights into various schools of Indian philosophy, including materialist traditions otherwise lost to history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
