Beliefs
The Cārvāka school of philosophy had a variety of atheistic, materialistic, and naturalistic beliefs.
No life after death
The Carvaka believed there was no afterlife, no life after death
-
- Springing forth from these elements itself
- solid knowledge is destroyed
- when they are destroyed—
- after death no intelligence remains. [11]
[] Naturalism
The Carvaka believed in a form of naturalism, that is that all things happen by nature, and come from nature (not from any deity or Supreme Being).
-
- Fire is hot, water cold,
- refreshingly cool is the breeze of morning;
- By whom came this variety?
- They were born of their own nature.[11]
