Detailed explanation-1: -Charvaka holds direct perception, empiricism, and conditional inference as proper sources of knowledge, embraces philosophical skepticism and rejects ritualism and supernaturalism. It was a popular belief system in ancient India.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to it, the Atman, Carvaka says that the Atman and Cetana (Consciousness) both are different things and consciousness is the present property of ‘self’ and body. And there is no existence of the so-called eternal Atman because it has no outer or inner perception.
Detailed explanation-3: -Charvakas believe that there are four elements (bhutachatustaya): earth, water, fire and air.
Detailed explanation-4: -The philosophy of Aristippus of Cyrene is nearly identical to Charvaka in that he believed the noblest goal one could dedicate one’s self to in life was the pursuit of pleasure. Aristippus believed in living for the moment and enjoying one’s self as much as one could.
