Abstract
We know that Indian Philosophy, in general, prescribes for four puruṣārthas,
viz., dharma, artha, kāmaandmokṣa. But the Cārvāka School accepts only two
puruṣārthas, viz., artha and kāma, and rejects dharma and mokṣa altogether.
Between the two puruṣārthas, kāma, the Cārvāka School says, is the supreme end and
artha is the means to fulfil this end.
