Reviews

[Asim Bakhshi · Rating 4 out of 5]

This beautiful survey of important philosophical schools in Urdu is one of the reasons why Jalalpuri is called Will Durant of Pakistan. I simply adore his fluent exposition, analytical ability and command on the subject.

it was a good book but i thought i read it in a wrong time . I should have read Khirdnama jalalpuri by the same author which is a sort of short encyclopedia describing different terms and philosophical movements in urdu language. reading philosophy in urdu is more difficult because of its specific vocabulary with which i was not much used to .
i would recomend new readers to give a read to khirdnama jalalpuri before this one for getting maximum from this book ..
