The Philosophy of the Upanishads and Ancient Indian Metaphysics is a book written by Archibald Edward Gough that explores the philosophical concepts found in the Upanishads, which are ancient Hindu texts that form the basis of Hindu philosophy. The book delves into the metaphysical ideas present in these texts, including the nature of reality, the self, and the ultimate goal of existence. Gough provides a detailed analysis of the Upanishads, examining their historical and cultural context as well as their philosophical significance. He also explores the influence of these texts on other philosophical traditions, both in India and beyond. The Philosophy of the Upanishads and Ancient Indian Metaphysics is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of one of the most important philosophical traditions in the world.1903. As exhibited in a series of articles contributed to the Calcutta Review. Those interested in the general history of philosophy will find in this volume an account of a very early attempt on the part of thinkers of a rude age and race to form a cosmological theory. The Upanishads are so many songs before sunrise-spontaneous effusions of awakening reflection, half poetical, half metaphysical, that precede the conscious and methodical labor of the long succession of thinkers to construct a thoroughly intelligible conception of the sum of things. This introduction to the Upanishads will prove indispensable for readers who are interested in Indian matters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
