Abstract: Indian philosophy, a rich and diverse intellectual tradition, explores profound questions concerning existence, knowledge, ethics, and the ultimate goal of human life. This article delves into the pathways Indian philosophy provides to acquire knowledge (epistemology), establish ethical frameworks, and achieve enlightenment. By examining major schools of thought, including Vedic traditions, Buddhism, Jainism, and later developments like Advaita Vedānta, the article highlights their contributions to global philosophical discourse. Indian philosophy stands as a testament to humanity’s enduring quest for truth and wisdom. Its rich tapestry of ideas, born from centuries of reflection and debate, continues to inspire and guide people across the world. By blending intellectual rigor with spiritual depth, Indian philosophy not only addresses the ultimate questions of life but also offers practical solutions for achieving personal and collective well-being. As a beacon of timeless wisdom, it remains profoundly relevant in guiding humanity toward a harmonious and enlightened existence.
