Philosophy Of Carakasamhita

Ayurveda, represented by Caraka and Susruta, Stands first among the sciences of Indian intellectual tradition. No other branch of learning is subject to such an acute competition as Ayurveda is with modern. Yet, it has survived the challenges of time and has attained a new impetus today. This is probably due to the novelty of the fundamental principles of Ayurveda which is based on a holistic approach. The fundamental principles are, in fact, build upon philosophical concepts. Hence, it is essentials to remove the ambiguities in philosophical abstracitions for developing the consistency and authenticity of the fundamental principles. One of the possible ways is to make explicit the philosophical speculations in which the fundamental principles of Ayurveda are rooted. Carakasmhita deserves special mention in this respect.
