We really know almost nothing about it, even the Indians didn't. Indians in 1000AD had mythical tier knowledge of 500BC, on par with how little the Sassanian and Muslim dynasties knew about pre-Parthian Persia. Carvaka seems more like a catchall term for tendencies toward naturalism in Indian philosophy, like the phusikoi and sophists in Archaic Greek philosophy.
how does one 'advocate naive' realism if they do not perceive reality directly? the production of reality, to the mistaken, requires a true antithesis. a naive realist who does not understand the Bible HAS to go to church.
Cyrenaics? Founded by a pupil of Socrates, but died out in a few generations I guess. The pursuit of physical pleasure to the exclusion of all else is cringe.
>Whatever happened to it?
Back in the day in India it was acceptable to kill redditors
Hylic-tier philosophy.

The shortest chapter in the Gita alludes to this 'annihilationism' . Epicurus would be the reasonable place to go.
If any sect was apt to be purged as heretics it would be them.
Jayarasi's Tattvopaplavasiṃha is the only Charvaka aligned book remaining
Charvaka was the cringe reddit atheism of its time. The most based Indian philosophy was Ajivika.
The most based Indian philosophy is Madhyamika
Well it’s the truth about reality so of course it’s based.
All wrong, Advaita is both the most based Indian philosophy and the most based philosophy of all time
the you-know-whos took it and weaponized it
I don't know who, though

>A fool wears himself out by penances and fasts. Chastity and other such ordinances are laid down by clever weaklings.
This is anathema to IQfyers
I dont think those who seek to maximise pleasure write books on the subject. It seems like a pretty straightforward path to me.
