''The Philosophy of the Upanishads and Ancient Indian Metaphysics'' by Archibald Edward Gough is a comprehensive exploration of the philosophical and metaphysical ideas presented in the Upanishads, a collection of ancient Hindu texts. Gough delves into the core concepts of the Upanishads, including the nature of the self, the universe, and the ultimate reality known as Brahman. He also examines the different schools of thought that emerged in ancient India, such as the Vedanta and Samkhya schools, and how they contributed to the development of Indian philosophy. Through his analysis, Gough provides readers with a deeper understanding of the rich and complex philosophical traditions of ancient India. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Eastern philosophy, religion, and spirituality.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.
