Dialogues on the Hindu Philosophy, Comprising the Nyaya, the Sankhya, the Vedant: To which is added a Discussion of the Authority of the Vedas - Hardcover

For the second objective, we have utilized arguments used by proponents of different schools of thought to advocate for our cause. Hence, we have enlisted the support of Kanada, Kapila, and Ramanuja to counter Vedanta, and we have capitalized on Sankaracharya's potent arguments against Nyaya and Sankhya.
