a term used only in mahayana to refer to non mahayana traditions 67 the mahayana schools accepted the mahayana sutras and studied the works of mahayana philosophers like nagarjuna the non mahayana schools drew their philosophical doctrines from the tripitaka and on the abhidharma treatises śrāvakayāna schools non mahayana the mahāsāṃghika great community tradition which included numerous sub schools all are now extinct a key doctrine of this tradition was the supramundane and transcendent nature of the buddha lokottaravada the schools of the sthavira elders tradition vaibhāṣika commentators also known as the sarvāstivāda vaibhāśika was an abhidharma tradition that composed the great commentary mahāvibhāṣa they were known for their defense of the doctrine of sarvāstitva all exists which is a form of eternalism regarding the philosophy of time they also supported direct realism and a theory of substances svabhāva sautrāntika those who uphold the sutras a tradition which did not see the northern abhidharma as authoritative and instead focused on the buddhist sutras they disagreed with the vaibhāṣika on several key points including their eternalistic theory of time their direct realism and their realist theory of nirvana pudgalavāda personalists which were known for their controversial theory of the person pudgala which is what undergoes rebirth and attain awakening they are now extinct vibhajyavāda the analysts a widespread tradition which reached kashmir south india and sri lanka a part of this school has survived into the modern era as the southeast asian theravada tradition their orthodox positions can be found in the kathavatthu they rejected the views of the pudgalavāda and of the vaibhāṣika among others mahāyāna traditions a japanese depiction of nagarjuna one of the greatest buddhist philosophers and founder of madhyamaka the mahāyāna great vehicle movement c 1st century bce onwards included new ideas and scriptures mahayana sutras these philosophical traditions differ significantly from other schools of buddhism and include metaphysical doctrines which are not accepted by the other buddhist traditions mahayana thought focuses on the universal altruistic ideal of the bodhisattva a being who is on the path to buddhahood for the sake of all living beings it also defends the doctrine that there are limitless number of buddhas throughout limitless numbers of universes these indian traditions are the main source of modern tibetan buddhism and of modern east asian buddhism the main indian mahayana schools of philosophy are madhyamaka middle way or centrism founded by nagarjuna also known as śūnyavāda the emptiness doctrine and niḥsvabhāvavāda the no svabhāva doctrine this tradition focuses on the idea that all phenomena are empty of any essence or substance svabhāva yogācāra yoga praxis an idealistic school which held that only consciousness exists and thus was also known as vijñānavāda the doctrine of consciousness the dignāga dharmakīrti tradition is an influential school of thought which focused on epistemology or pramāṇa means of knowledge they generally followed the doctrine of vijñānavāda some scholars see the tathāgatagarbha buddha womb source or buddha nature texts as constituting a third school of indian mahāyāna thought 68 vajrayāna also known as mantrayāna tantrayāna secret mantra and tantric buddhism is often placed in a separate category due to its unique tantric theories and practices many of these philosophies were brought to other regions like central asia and china after the disappearance of buddhism from india some of these philosophical traditions continued to develop in the tibetan buddhist east asian buddhist and theravada buddhist traditions 69 70 monastic life has been a part of all indian philosophy traditions mendicant caves of extinct ājīvikas in bihar 71 ājīvika philosophy edit main article ājīvika the philosophy of ājīvika was founded by makkhali gosala it was a śramaṇa movement and a major rival of early buddhism and jainism 72 ājīvikas were organised renunciates who formed discrete monastic communities prone to an ascetic and simple lifestyle 73 original scriptures of the ājīvika school of philosophy may once have existed but these are currently unavailable and probably lost their theories are extracted from mentions of ajivikas in the secondary sources of ancient indian literature particularly those of jainism and buddhism which polemically criticized the ajivikas 74 the ājīvika school is known for its niyati doctrine of absolute determinism fate the premise that there is no free will that everything that has happened is happening and will happen is entirely preordained and a function of cosmic principles 74 75 ājīvika considered the karma doctrine as a fallacy 76 ājīvikas were atheists 77 and rejected the authority of the vedas but they believed that in every living being is an ātman a central premise of hinduism and jainism 78 79 ajñana philosophy edit main article ajñana ajñana was one of the nāstika or heterodox schools of ancient indian philosophy and the ancient school of radical indian skepticism it was a śramaṇa movement and a major rival of early buddhism and jainism their ideas are recorded in buddhist and jain texts they held that it was impossible to obtain knowledge of metaphysical nature or ascertain the truth value of philosophical propositions and even if knowledge was possible it was useless and disadvantageous for final salvation they were sophists who specialised in refutation without propagating any positive doctrine of their own charvaka philosophy edit main article charvaka charvaka sanskrit चार्वाक iast cārvāka also known as lokāyata is an ancient school of indian materialism 80 charvaka holds direct perception empiricism and conditional inference as proper sources of knowledge embraces philosophical skepticism and rejects ritualism and supernaturalism 81 82 83 84 85 it was a popular belief system in ancient india a the etymology of charvaka sanskrit चार्वाक is uncertain bhattacharya quotes the grammarian hemacandra to the effect that the word cārvāka is derived from the root carv to chew a cārvāka chews the self carvatyātmānaṃ cārvākaḥ hemacandra refers to his own grammatical work uṇādisūtra 37 which runs as follows mavāka śyāmāka vārtāka jyontāka gūvāka bhadrākādayaḥ each of these words ends with the āka suffix and is formed irregularly this may also allude to the philosophy s hedonistic precepts of eat drink and be merry brihaspati is traditionally referred to as the founder of charvaka or lokāyata philosophy although some scholars dispute this 87 88 during the hindu reformation period in the first millennium bce when buddhism was established by gautama buddha and jainism was re organized by parshvanatha the charvaka philosophy was well documented and opposed by both religions 89 much of the primary literature of charvaka the barhaspatya sutras were lost either due to waning popularity or other unknown reasons 90 its teachings have been compiled from historic secondary literature such as those found in the shastras sutras and the indian epic poetry as well as in the dialogues of gautama buddha and from jain literature 90 91 however there is text that may belong to the charvaka tradition written by the skeptic philosopher jayarāśi bhaṭṭa known as the tattvôpaplava siṁha that provides information about this school albeit unorthodox 92 93 one of the widely studied principles of charvaka philosophy was its rejection of inference as a means to establish valid universal knowledge and metaphysical truths 94 95 in other words the charvaka epistemology states that whenever one infers a truth from a set of observations or truths one must acknowledge doubt inferred knowledge is conditional 96 comparison of indian philosophies edit the indian traditions subscribed to diverse philosophies significantly disagreeing with each other as well as orthodox indian philosophy and its six schools of hindu philosophy the differences ranged from a belief that every individual has a soul self atman to asserting that there is no soul 57 62 63 64 97 from axiological merit in a frugal ascetic life to that of a hedonistic life from a belief in rebirth to asserting that there is no
