Philosophy in the Indian tradition is often believed to be essentially religious in character. Even schools like Nyāya and Buddhism correlate their logic and epistemology with a transcendent religious goal. Yet, there exists a purely secular and rational exercise within the Indian philosophical traditions—the Lokāyata/Cārvāka school of philosophy. Owing to a lack of substantial literary sources, Lokāyata has received only scant attention from scholars till now.
