According to materialism, everything that exists is a perceivable matter; ideas like the soul and other supernatural beings or planes of existence are just the creations of creative minds.

Vyapti between terms of unequal extension is called " asamavyavyapti" or " visamavyapti", and vyapti between equal extensions is called " samavyapti". Vyapti is a universal statement that expresses the " niyata sahacharya" or relation of constant concomitance between hetu or the middle term and sadhya or the major term and implies the " sahacara" i.e. the knowledge of invariable relation of causality or co-existence between sadhya and hetu in all the three instances of time, which is possible when the " anupadhik sambandha" i.e. relation of unconditionality between the two is known. It is defined as the unconditional and constant concomitant relation between " vyapya", the pervaded, and " vyapaka", the pervader. The The pararthanumana". Knowledge of vyapti is considered by this school to be the cause of successful inference because inference depends upon the unconditional universal concomitance between the middle term and the major term, the middle term indicating the existence of the major term, and is to be found in the minor term or " paksa", the subject of inference. It is not possible to perceive all instances of the middle term and the major term nor can vyapti be known by internal perception. In order for the inference to be sound the major and the minor premises have to be true, the former should be secure because the latter’s truth is given by perception. They hold the view that vyapti is the unconditional uni...

Lokayata/Carvaka—Indian Materialism In its most generic sense, “Indian Materialism” refers to the school of thought within Indian philosophy that rejects supernaturalism. It is regarded as the most radical of the Indian philosophical systems. It rejects the existence of other worldly entities such an immaterial soul or god and the after-life. Its primary philosophical import comes by way of a scientific and The terms Lokāyata and Cārvāka have historically been used to denote the philosophical school of Indian Materialism. Literally, “Lokāyata” means philosophy of the people. The term was first used by the ancient Buddhists until around 500 B.C.E. to refer to both a common tribal philosophical view and a sort of this-worldly philosophy or nature lore. The term has evolved to signify a school of thought that has been scorned by religious leaders in India and remains on the periphery of Indian philosophical thought. After 500 B.C.E., the term acquired a more derogatory connotation and became synonymous with sophistry. It was not until between the 6 th and 8 th century C.E. that the term “Lokāyata” began to signify Materialist thought. Indian Materialism has also been named Cārvāka after one of the two founders of the school.

To begin with…. I will begin this with a short personal tale. In the beginning of 1991, when Narsimha Rao government hesitantly pushed it’s liberal economic policies, venerable comrade economist Dr. Ashok Mitra wrote a venomous op-ed in the very popular Bengali paper Ananda Bazar Patrika. After explaining how dangerous direction this country was headed to and how his once-respected colleague (then FM, now PM) could no longer be trusted to take care of poor, Dr. Mitra offered a radical solution to our debt problem. Loosely translated, the solution is this: National debt? The responsibility of the recovery of the debt lies with the lender, not the indebted. This pearl of profound economic wisdom appealed to my teen-age conscience and armed with this single most important advise, I argued with my father that he really did not need to worry about his personal loans. My father, the incorrigible moralist, offered a simple response: this is called Rinam Kritva Ghritam Pibet economics. The entire Sanskrit proverb is Rinam kritva ghritam pibet, yavan jivet sukham jivet. For readers unfamiliar with the language, it means Live so long you have a life and live with all comforts and luxury (like eating butter) even if you have to take a loan. The quote is attributed to sage Charvaka who was one of the principal proponent of nastika lokayata (corrected by jayant) philosophy, one of the six Hindu philosophical traditions. Hardly any of the authentic texts from lokayata school survived th...
