Orthodox Philosophy

**Statement 1 is incorrect:** The Sankhya school accepts: - Existence of the soul (Purusha) - Rebirth and transmigration caused by ignorance (avidya) and attachment (prakriti–purusha entanglement) Thus, Sankhya does accept rebirth. **Statement 2 is correct:** Sankhya is a dualistic atheistic system. Liberation (kaivalya) comes from true knowledge of the distinction between Purusha (consciousness) and Prakriti (matter). No god or external agent is needed for liberation.
