​Introduction: ​The Cārvāka school, also known as Lokāyata, is the materialist, empiricist, and hedonistic system of classical Indian philosophy.
​Information Booster: · ​ Bhūtacaitanyavāda (B): This is the Cārvāka theory of material consciousness. They hold that consciousness is not an independent spiritual entity, but a biological byproduct generated by the unique combination of the four physical elements ( bhūtas): earth, water, fire, and air.
· ​ Dehātmavāda (C): This is the body-identity theory, which asserts that the self ( ātman) is nothing other than the living physical body characterized by consciousness ( caitanya-visiṣṭa-deha). There is no soul separate from the body.
· ​ Sukhavāda (D): This represents their materialist hedonism. Cārvākas argue that sensory pleasure in this life is the ultimate human goal ( Puruṣārtha). They famously advocate for enjoying life's pleasures and reject sacrificing present happiness for imaginary post-mortem rewards.
​Additional Knowledge: · ​ Karmavāda (A):
· ​This is the moral law of cause and effect (Karma), which dictates that virtuous actions lead to happiness and sinful actions lead to suffering in future births.
· ​Cārvākas entirely reject Karmavāda because they do not believe in an afterlife, moral retribution, a soul, or any unseen force ( adṛṣṭa) governing human destiny.
