Ishvarakrishna

(4th c.) Indian philosopher who is
traditionally cited as the author of the
Samkhyakarikas, a collection of sayings
that explain the basic position of the
Samkhya philosophical school. The
Samkhya school is one of the six
schools in traditional Hindu philosophy, and its position is an atheistic
philosophical dualism, in which two
fundamental principles, prakrti (“nature”)
and purusha (“person”), are the source
of all things.
