Sāṃkhya
Sign in to saveAlso known as Sankhya
Samkhya or Sankhya (; ) is a dualistic orthodox school of Hindu philosophy. It views reality as composed of two independent principles, Puruṣa ('consciousness' or spirit) and Prakṛti (nature or matter, including the human mind and emotions).
Samkhya is an ancient Hindu philosophy that divides reality into two separate, independent elements: Puruṣa, which is pure consciousness or spirit, and Prakṛti, which is nature and matter (including the human mind). This framework matters because it offers a distinctive way of understanding the relationship between consciousness and the physical world, influencing how practitioners think about the mind, body, and spiritual liberation.

Il Sāṃkhya (devanāgarī: सांख्य) è una scuola di pensiero indiana, ritenuta la più antica filosofia sistematica apparsa fra le tradizioni hindu, e che ha influito considerevolmente su altre scuole filosofiche e religiose dell'induismo. Nella letteratura esistono due versioni del Sāṃkhya, una ritenuta teista e l'altra non teista. Il Sāṃkhya costituisce uno dei sei sistemi (darśana) ortodossi nella cultura hindu.
