Part of the "Longman Library of Primary Sources in Philosophy," this edition of the Upanishads   is framed by a pedagogical structure designed to make this important work of philosophy more accessible and meaningful for undergraduates.

Each book in the Longman Library offers today's students a clear, up-to-date, and inexpensive translation of a seminal work in philosophy.  With in-depth, user-friendly introductions, copious notes to clarify difficult or important passages, and a rich index, each volume makes the masterworks of philosophy accessible to students and emphasizes their relevance to contemporary issues and debates.  Each work in the Longman Library is priced so that a number of works can be assigned in the same course, and/or bundled with a text or anthology.
