Concepts subsection
Hey, wondering if it would be okay to add a 'Concepts' subsection (like I made for the Chinese philosophy template. Not being particularly knowledgable about the subject, my prelimary list would be: Adharma, Ahiṃsā, Anātman, Ātman, Avidyā, Bhāvana, Dharma, Dukkha, Guṇa, Jñāna, Karma, Māyā, Mokṣa, Nirvāṇa, Pratītyasamutpāda, Prajñā, Prakṛti, Rajamandala, Ṛta, Saṃsāra, Satya, Satyagraha, Skandhas, Smṛti, Śūnyatā, Upādāna, Vijñāna, Vipāka. Basically, I'd love to see a list of concepts that are either 1. incredibly important to one school of thought, and/or 2. shared across several schools of thought. Ideas? Suggestions?

- I like the 'Concepts' subsection idea, it would be a good addition to this template. You'll find more concepts related to talk) 20:17, 21 June 2012 (UTC)]
- Good idea! :) Here's what I might include, following that:
- From particular schools: Guṇa, Yamas, Pramana, Padārtha, Sphoṭa, Advaita, Antarvyāpi, Mukti-yogyas, Eight pentads, Svatantrya, Buddha-nature, Yogācāra, Svabhava, Prajñāpāramitā.
- Wider concepts: Mokṣa, Nirvāṇa, Ahiṃsā, Saṃsāra, and of course Dhárma and Karma.
- Is winnowing needed? Additions? I have a feeling you're more a specialist in this field than me. :)

- Your list was already quite comprehensive and yet brief. I have added a few concepts, combined similar schools when possible (to minimize concepts) and arranged the concepts roughly in chronological order by school of philosophy:

- I like your list, I say we go with it. Would you want it split up by school, as above, or alphabetical?

- Lets do it alphabetically. Arranging concepts chronologically or by school might create unnecessary controversy (see talk) 01:22, 23 June 2012 (UTC)]

- Alrighty, just added the concepts alphabetically. For consistency, should be consistent orthographically? Some of the terms have diacritics, some have none. Dan Cottrell (talk) 03:10, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
- I have changed how some of the words were spelled. The words seem orthographically consistent now. talk) 23:38, 23 June 2012 (UTC)]

Rename
This should be renamed to Indian philosophy. --Babub→Talk 02:54, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Merge "Texts" and philosophical texts?
I can't understand why we have 2 groups about texts. I understand a merge. --Redtigerxyz Talk 06:51, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
- Agree, I have removed certain texts like Ramayana, Mahabharata etc, which cannot be strictly classified as philosophical texts and have merged the rest of the 'texts' into 'philosophical texts'. talk) 23:08, 23 June 2012 (UTC)]

Buddhism and Jainism aren't actually Nastika philosophies. They have always denied being Nastika. Hindu scriptures labelling them as "Nastika" is akin to when Muslims label all non-Sunni sects as infidels.
They should be in an Astika (Others) category whereas the current 'Hindu' Astika category should be labelled Astika (Sat-Astika Darshan). Sprocket Crocket (talk) 03:35, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
