Indian philosophy has delved into complex metaphysical questions from "summary" of India: The Ancient Past by Burjor Avari

The philosophical tradition in ancient India was marked by a deep engagement with complex metaphysical questions that sought to unravel the mysteries of existence and the nature of reality. Scholars and thinkers of the time grappled with profound queries about the ultimate nature of the universe, the self, and the relationship between the individual and the cosmos. One of the central themes that preoccupied Indian philosophers was the concept of Brahman, the supreme reality that underlies all existence. This concept was expounded upon in various texts such as the Upanishads, which explored the nature of the self and its connection to the divine. The idea of the Atman, or the individual soul, was also a key focus of inquiry, as philosophers sought to understand its relationship to the universal soul. In addition to these metaphysical inquiries, Indian philosophers also delved into questions about the nature of knowledge, perception, and reality. The concept of Maya, or illusion, was a recurring theme in Indian thought, as thinkers sought to understand the nature of the world and the limitations of human perception. The concept of karma, or the law of cause and effect, was another key idea that shaped philosophical discussions about the nature of moral responsibility and the consequences of one's actions.
