N.
 of one of the six systems of Hindu philosophy, attributed to the sage Kapila
(this philosophy is so called because it 'enumerates' twentyfive Tattvas or true principles
and its chief object is to effect the final emancipation of the twenty-fifth Tattva, i.e. the Puruṣa or soul, from the bonds of this worldly existence the fetters of phenomenal creation by conveying a correct knowledge of the twenty-four other Tattvas and by properly discriminating the Soul from them. It regards the whole universe as a development of an inanimate principle called Prakṛiti q. v, while the Puruṣa is altogether passive and simply a looker-on. It agrees with the Vedānta in being synthetical and so differs from the analytical Nyāya or Vaiśeṣika
but its great point of divergence from the Vedānta is that it maintains two principles which the Vedānta denies, and that it does not admit God as the creator and controller of the universe, which the Vedānta affirms)

सांख्य
n.
 (accord. to some also

 )
N.
 of one of the three great divisions of Hindū philosophy (ascribed to the sage Kapila [q.v.], and so called either from ‘discriminating’, in general, or, more probably, from ‘reckoning up’ or ‘enumerating’ twenty-five Tattvas [See तत्त्व] or true entities [twenty-three of which are evolved out of Prakṛti ‘the primordial Essence’ or ‘first-Producer’], viz. Buddhi, Ahaṃkāra, the five Tan-mātras, the five Mahā-bhūtas and Manas
the twenty-fifth being Puruṣa or Spirit [sometimes called Soul] which is neither a Producer nor Production [see विकार], but wholly distinct from the twenty-four other Tattvas, and is multitudinous, each separate Puruṣa by its union with Prakṛti causing a separate creation out of Prakṛti, the object of the philosophy being to effect the final liberation of the Puruṣa or Spirit from the fetters caused by that creation
the Yoga [q.v.] branch of the Sāṃkhya recognizes a Supreme Spirit dominating each separate Puruṣa
the Tantras identify Prakṛti with the wives of the gods,
esp.
 with the wife of Śiva
the oldest systematic exposition of the S° seems to have been by an author called Pañca-śikha [the germ, however, being found in the Ṣaṣṭi-tantra, of which only scanty fragments are extant]
the original Sūtras were superseded by the S° of Īśvara-kṛṣṇa, the oldest manual on the S° system that has come down to us and probably written in the 5th century
A.
 D., while the S°-sūtras or Ś° and Tattva-samāsa, ascribed to the sage Kapila, are now thought to belong to as late a date as the 14th or 15th century or perhaps a little later),
