In this endevour the book takes a brief look at the background and main views of the major philosophers of the West beginning from pre-Socratic to the modern era. Then it discusses the development of philosophy in ancient India. A comparison of theistic and atheistic views on major philosophical subjects such as epistemology, reality, morals etc, is undertaken with emphasis on the different ideas of individual philosophers.
