1 recommender · 1 thread · recommended in 1 year, 2024 · score 1.0
A set of video lectures by Edwin Bryant at Rutgers University on the Sāṁkhya Kārikās, a foundational text of the Sāṁkhya school of classical Indian philosophy. Part of a larger collection of his lectures on Sanskrit philosophical texts.
One commenter highly recommends the lectures, saying Bryant usually explains the difficult terminology in a really easy way, and suggests starting with the Yoga Sūtras first.

I'd highly recommend Edwin Bryant's lectures here:
Nyāya Sūtras: https://sites.rutgers.edu/edwin-bryant/nyaya-sutras-svadhaya...
Sāṁkhya: http://sites.rutgers.edu/edwin-bryant/samkhya-karikas/
It might be confusing at first, especially if you don’t understand certain terms but he usually explains in a really easy way. It'd be better if you start with Yoga Sūtras so that you can understand all the different terminologies but I don't think that's a requirement :)
