Metaphysics of samkhya philosophy
The Samkhya philosophy, as discussed by Sahin Sahari, is an atheistic metaphysical system that denies the existence of a god and asserts that the universe is real and derived from two fundamental elements: prakruti (nature) and purusha (soul). It outlines 25 elements constituting the universe, detailing the roles of purusha, prakruti, mahat (cosmic intelligence), and the different types of ahamkara (ego). The philosophy emphasizes that every effect has a cause, following the principle of satkaryavad, and explores the intricacies of consciousness and the material world.
