by Surendranath Dasgupta

[All 5 Volumes Combined, 2517 Pages, High Quality, with Complete Outlines] (From 1922 to 1955). In this benchmark five-volume study, originally published between 1922 and 1955, Surendranath Dasgupta examines the principal schools of thought that define Indian philosophy. A unifying force greater than art, literature, religion, or science, Professor Dasgupta describes philosophy as the most important achievement of Indian thought, arguing that an understanding of its history is necessary to appreciate the significance and potentialities of India's complex culture. Volume III offers an examination of the Bhaskara school of philosophy, the Pancaratra, the Arvars, the Visistadvaita school of thought, the philosophy of Yamunacarya, the Ramanuja school of thought, Nimbarka's philosophy, the philosophy of Vijnana Bhiksu, and the philosophical speculations of some of the selected Puranas.

The book itself is monumental, brilliantly researched and presented. The kindle edition however is practically unreadable: scanned and machine converted. Unfortunate disservice to a great book.
