". The Sakhya System is a masterful compilation . The volume is an essential addition to the libraries of those seeking a nuanced interpretation of India's most foundational philosophical architecture. It is a dense, rewarding, and deeply analytical work that proves that Sakhya is not just a way of counting, but a way of seeing. This book offers a robust, dualistic alternative to those who find modern spiritualities lacking in metaphysical depth." -- Reading Religion "This book offers a fresh look at Sakhya, treating it as a living philosophical tradition worthy of sustained attention. In addition, the new translation of the Sakhya Karika at the beginning of this work, plus the in-depth grammatical analysis in the appendix, will be invaluable to students of Sakhya looking for an accessible version of the text." -- Andrew J.

Nicholson, author of Lord siva's Song: The isvara Gita "Sakhya is a fascinating and profound philosophy that deserves much more scholarly attention. This book takes a multifaceted approach to the tradition, engaging with several different academic disciplines--philology, philosophy, history, sociology, anthropology, and textual studies. The contributors do an excellent job of firmly locating Sakhya as a living religious philosophy that in many respects permeates all of Indian culture." -- D. E. Osto, Massey University of New Zealand.
