Pradeep P. Gokhale is Dr B. R. Ambedkar Research Professor, Central University of Tibetan Studies, Sarnath, India. He is also former Professor, Department of Philosophy, Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune, India.
Philosophy in Indian tradition as a purely secular and rational exercise can be located in the Lokayata/Carvaka school of Indian philosophy. Due to the lack of substantial literary sources, scholars did not try to explore Lokayata philosophically. The present work is the first attempt to explore the philosophical energies inherent in the scattered Carvaka literature through critical and analytical discussions firmly grounded in textual evidences.
