In one of his many provocative arguments, the maverick philosopher Daya Krishna proposed that numerous problems engaged by Indian philosophical traditions do not ‘have any direct or indirect relation, even in the remotest way, to mokṣa [liberation]’ (Krishna 1965, p.48). Krishna, of course, was right to push back against the tendency to see mokṣa as the ‘focal concern’ and distinctive feature of Indian intellectual pursuits, which has inhibited the broader reception of Indian ideas, including those not necessarily related to liberation, within contemporary philosophy. When mokṣa (from √muc, ‘to free’, ‘to release’, ‘to unyoke’) is taken as the predominant interest of Indian traditions.
