FOREWORD
With the publication of this Thesis by Dr. G. N. Joshi on “ The Evolution of the Concepts of Atman and Moksa in the Different Systems of Indian Philosophy", the Gujarat University makes a beginning in the field of the publication of some selected doctoral theses. It is, indeed, gratifying that the first Thesis to be published under this category is a work of valuable research done by Dr. Joshi under the esteemed guidance of the late Professor A. K. Trivedi. I take this opportunity of paying my humble homage to the late Professor Trivedi as well as of congratulating Dr. Joshi.
I must also gratefully acknowledge the financial assistance given by the University Grants Commission for the publication of this work.
I am sure this publication will prove useful to all those interested in the study of Indian Philosophy.
