Ṣaḍdarśanasamuccaya (“Compendium of the Six Views”) is a work by the eighth-century Indian scholar Haribhadra (or Haribhadra Sūri) of the Śvetāmbara school of Jainism.[1]

The "six views" of the title refer to the following six schools of Indian philosophy:[1]

The work also contains an appendix on the Cārvāka ("materialist) school.[1]

The work is of interest to Buddhist scholars because it articulates how Buddhist doctrines were interpreted by non-Buddhist schools.[1]
