Victor Cousin (1792-1867) eminent French philosopher, whose knowledge of the history of European philosophy was unrivalled, believes that:
"When we read with attention the poetical and philosophical monuments of the East--above all, those of India, which are beginning to spread in Europe--we discover there many a truth, and truths so profound, and which make such a contrast with the meanness of the results at which European genius has sometimes stopped, that we are constrained to bend the knee before the philosophy of the East, and to see in this cradle of the human race the native land of the highest philosophy."
(source: Is India Civilized: Essays on Indian Culture - By Sir John Woodroffe p. 132).
He has observed: “The history of Indian philosophy is the abridge history of the philosophy of the world.”

" India contains the whole history of philosophy in a nutshell."
(source: India And Her People - By Swami Abhedananda p 11-12).
