Indian Conception of Values, first published in 1975, is considered by many as Prof. M. Hiriyanna’s magnum-opus. The professor who famously said that ‘Indian philosophy is essentially a philosophy of values’ discusses the subject of values at great length in this treatise, a subject not restricted to a particular branch of Indian philosophy but rather one that has inspired the intellectual investigation as a whole, its influence visible in every aspect of Indian philosophic thought. Prof. Hiriyanna’s profound knowledge of the subject, his keen sense of analysis, his insight into the Indian mind, and his lucid language with carefully chosen words all come together to make this work a veritable treasure.
