ABSTRACT: Indian philosophical systems, collectively known as Darshana, represent a rich and systematic tradition of inquiry into reality, knowledge, ethics and liberation. Rooted in both orthodox and heterodox schools, these systems offer diverse yet interconnected perspectives on human existence and ultimate truth. This article critically examines the foundational concepts, epistemological and metaphysical positions, and soteriological aims of major Indian philosophical systems. Using qualitative textual analysis and comparative interpretation, the study highlights their interdisciplinary relevance and contemporary significance. The findings underscore that Indian Darshanas remain intellectually vibrant traditions capable of contributing meaningfully to global philosophical discourse and modern academic inquiry (Radhakrishnan, 1951; Sharma, 1960).
Keywords: Indian Philosophy, Darshana, Epistemology, Metaphysics, Liberation.
