Adi Shankaracharya (8th century CE) was the most influential exponent of Advaita Vedanta, which emphasizes the non-dual nature of reality (Brahman and Atman are one). He wrote commentaries on the Upanishads, Brahma Sutras, and Bhagavad Gita, and established four mathas across India. Kapila founded Samkhya, Charvaka founded materialism, and Ramanuja was a proponent of Vishishtadvaita (qualified non-dualism).
