SCHOOLS OF INDIAN PHILOSOPHY- SUBDIVISION

 


Schools of Indian philosophy: Further subdivision

The orthodox schools can be further subdivided into the following 6 schools

  1. Samkhya
  2. Yoga
  3. Nyaya
  4. Vaisheshika
  5. Purva Mimamsa (or simply Mimamsa)
  6. Vedanta (also called Uttara Mimamsa)

The heterodox schools can be further subdivided into the following 3 schools

  1. Carvaka
  2. Budhhist
  3. Jain

Out of these nine systems, eight are atheistic as there is no place for God in them. Only Uttara Mimansa, which is also called Vedanta, has a place for God in it.
