In the West, the term Eastern (Oriental) philosophy

One must take into account that this term ignores that these countries do not belong to a single culture

ANCIENT INDIAN PHILOSOPHY
The development of ancient Indian philosophy consists of
two periods: Vedic and Classical
Rig-Veda is a collection of religious
hymns, the first known monument of Indian literature
The word «veda» means «knowledge» and comes from the root «vid», that reconstructed from Proto-Indo-European root «weid», meaning «see» or «know»
Слайд 14HINDUISM
Rig-Veda contains an extreme pluralism: the gods, people, animals, plants,
elements, seasons, countries, qualities of body, spiritual abilities, etc.
They are
animate (жанды/одушевленные) substances, which are connected with each other and can transform into one another.
The world and its phenomena are considered as the improvement of the primary entity (түп -тегі/сущность)(Purusha)
Purusha is also understood to be the first person, which consists of castes.
Слайд 15INDIAN SOCIETY’S CASTES:
Head corresponds to the caste of Brahmins (priests)
Hands
– to the caste of the Kshatriyas (the military or
ruling class)
Feet – Vaisya caste (merchants, artisans)
Footsteps –Sudras caste (servants)
There were also Untouchables, that is, most lower of the castes

PHILOSOPHICAL SCHOOLS:
According to a traditional schools of Indian
philosophy (Brahmins) are divided into two broad classes, namely, orthodox

During next classical period, there appears an interest in ethical issues. Agnostics, materialists and fatalists oppose the Brahmins and the reformists
Слайд 18BUDDHISM
religious-philosophical doctrine
teaching of awakening (ояну /пробуждение)
at the core of Buddhism
is the doctrine of the four high-minded (мәртебелі/благородный) truths:

- the true ways to stop suffering

This path
is directly related to the cultivation of three varieties of
virtues (ізгіліктер/добродетели):
