Hindu Realism: Being An Introduction To The Metaphysics Of The Nyaya-Vaisheshika System Of Philosophy is a book written by Jagadish Chandra Chatterji and originally published in 1912. The book provides an in-depth introduction to the metaphysical principles of the Nyaya-Vaisheshika system of philosophy, which is one of the six orthodox schools of Hindu philosophy. The Nyaya-Vaisheshika system is based on the belief that reality is composed of both physical and non-physical entities, and that these entities interact with each other in a cause-and-effect relationship. The book explores the various aspects of this system, including its ontology, epistemology, logic, and ethics. Chatterji's writing is clear and concise, making it accessible to readers who may not be familiar with Hindu philosophy. The book is divided into chapters that cover specific topics, such as the nature of reality, the role of perception in knowledge, and the concept of karma. Overall, Hindu Realism is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the Nyaya-Vaisheshika system of philosophy and Hindu metaphysics in general. It provides a comprehensive overview of the system's key concepts and principles, and is a must-read for scholars and students of Indian philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
