2010 Fall Philosophy Proseminar Dates

Modern Hinduism developed from an older religion called Rigveda (1700-1100 B.C.E.).

Buddha was born in 5 century B.C.E. He had his enlightenment at the age of 35, and began teaching others how to do this until his death at age 80 (in 483 B.C.E.).

Indian philosophy began to divide into different disciplines in 200C.E. Some of these Indian philosophies are:

• Samkhya (roughly 3 century C.E. as beginning point);
• Yoga ( the oldest material dated back to 400 B.C.E.);
• Nyaya (earliest writings around the 2 century C.E.);
• Vaisheshika (2 century B.C.E. and one of it's major texts is form the 4 century C.E.);
• Purva-Mimamsa (a lot of the texts were from 3 to 1 century B.C.E.); and
• Vedanta (around 200 B.C.E.)--Jjohnson9 19:01, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
