Modern Indian philosophy was developed during British occupation(1750–1947). The philosophers in this era gave contemporary meaning to traditional philosophy. Some of them were Swami Vivekananda, Rabindranath Tagore, Sri Aurobindo, Mahapandit Rahul Sankrityayan, Swami Sahajanand Saraswati, Ananda Coomaraswamy, Ramana Maharshi and Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan.

Among contemporary Indian philosophers, Osho and J. Krishnamurti developed their own schools of thought. Pandurang Shastri Athavale, U. G. Krishnamurti and Krishnananda are other prominent names in contemporary Indian philosophy.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or philosophy:

    The United States is the only great nation whose government is operated without a budget. The fact is to be the more striking when it is considered that budgets and budget procedures are the outgrowth of democratic doctrines and have an important part in developing the modern constitutional rights.... The constitutional purpose of a budget is to make government responsive to public opinion and responsible for its acts.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    Only a philosophy of eternity, in the world today, could justify non-violence.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)
