The Samkhya, or cosmology, studies the process by which the universe develops, according to archetypes of an essentially mathematical nature. The word samkhya means "measurable" or "numerable."
Yoga deals with human nature and the relationships between the physical, sensorial, intellectual, and spiritual aspects of the human being.
The Vaisheshika, or scientific method, studies the laws of the visible world.
Nyaya, or logic, deals with methods of reasoning and the means of proof.
The Purva Mimamsa studies rites and means of contact between the natural and supernatural worlds.
The Uttara Mimamsa, or metaphysics, deals with the nature of the divine and human spiritual destiny.
From the often-conflicting conclusions of their investigations, these approaches highlight the relative value of all knowledge and constitute a sure barrier against any kind of dogmatism.
