Indian political thought  

Définition(s)

  • There are diverse strands of political thought in ancient India, and this diversity is not premised merely on different understandings of the nature and purpose of polity but also on the philosophical underpinnings of such understandings, such as the significance of the transhuman domain in human affairs, the nature of the self, conception of the world, goals, and purposes of life, and the nature of understanding as such. Some of these strands of thought have a remarkable continuity over time, although their autonomy as a defensible body of thought or even their role in sustaining allegiance to the political order and defending its legitimacy did not remain the same.
