The Positive Background of Hindu Sociology c6.s2.11

It is clear, therefore, that in every history of Hindu philosophy, rightly investigated, there should be chapters devoted to *Arthaśāstra*, *Nītiśāstra* or the like. To deal with Hindu philosophical categories without touching upon *Artha*, i.e., the conception of property, law, state, citizenship etc. would be as incomplete, partial and therefore misleading as to write on the history of Greek philosophy without touching upon the *Republic* of Plato or the *Politics* of Aristotle.⁴
