  • Indian Philosophy Encyclopædia Britannica Article
    Indian philosophy Encyclopædia Britannica Article Indian philosophy the systems of thought and reflection that were developed by the civilizations of the Indian subcontinent. They include both orthodox (astika) systems, namely, the Nyaya, Vaisesika, Samkhya, Yoga, Purva-mimamsa, and Vedanta schools of philosophy, and unorthodox (nastika) systems, such as Buddhism and Jainism. Indian thought has been concerned with various philosophical problems, significant among them the nature of the world (cosmology), the nature of reality (metaphysics), logic, the nature of knowledge (epistemology), ethics, and religion. General considerations Significance of Indian philosophies in the history of philosophy In relation to Western philosophical thought, Indian philosophy offers both surprising points of affinity and illuminating differences. The differences highlight certain fundamentally new questions that the Indian philosophers asked. The similarities reveal that, even when philosophers in India and the West were grappling with the same problems and sometimes even suggesting similar theories, Indian thinkers were advancing novel formulations and argumentations. Problems that the Indian philosophers raised for consideration, but that their Western counterparts never did, include such matters as the origin (utpatti) and apprehension (jñapti) of truth (pramanya). Problems that the Indian philosophers for the most part ignored but that helped shape Western philosophy include the question of whether knowledge arises from experience or from reason and distinctions such as that between analytic and synthetic judgments or between contingent and necessary truths. Indian thought, therefore, provides the historian of Western philosophy with a point of view that may supplement that gained from Western thought. A study of Indian thought, then, reveals certain inadequacies of Western philosophical thought and makes clear that some concepts and distinctions may not be as inevitable as they may otherwise seem.

  • Aesthetic Philosophy of Abhina V Agupt A
    AESTHETIC PHILOSOPHY OF ABHINA V AGUPT A Dr. Kailash Pati Mishra Department o f Philosophy & Religion Bañaras Hindu University Varanasi-5 2006 Kala Prakashan Varanasi All Rights Reserved By the Author First Edition 2006 ISBN: 81-87566-91-1 Price : Rs. 400.00 Published by Kala Prakashan B. 33/33-A, New Saket Colony, B.H.U., Varanasi-221005 Composing by M/s. Sarita Computers, D. 56/48-A, Aurangabad, Varanasi. To my teacher Prof. Kamalakar Mishra Preface It can not be said categorically that Abhinavagupta propounded his aesthetic theories to support or to prove his Tantric philosophy but it can be said definitely that he expounded his aesthetic philoso­ phy in light of his Tantric philosophy. Tantrism is non-dualistic as it holds the existence of one Reality, the Consciousness. This one Reality, the consciousness, is manifesting itself in the various forms of knower and known. According to Tantrism the whole world of manifestation is manifesting out of itself (consciousness) and is mainfesting in itself. The whole process of creation and dissolution occurs within the nature of consciousness. In the same way he has propounded Rasadvaita Darsana, the Non-dualistic Philosophy of Aesthetics. The Rasa, the aesthetic experience, lies in the conscious­ ness, is experienced by the consciousness and in a way it itself is experiencing state of consciousness: As in Tantric metaphysics, one Tattva, Siva, manifests itself in the forms of other tattvas, so the one Rasa, the Santa rasa, assumes the forms of other rasas and finally dissolves in itself. Tantrism is Absolute idealism in its world-view and epistemology.

  • The Ascertainment of Truth of Knowledge in the Nyiya-Vaieikas
    The Ascertainment of Truth of Knowledge in the Nyiya-Vaieikas Atsushi Uno The problem of truth or falsity of knowledge occupies a most important and indispensable part of Indian epistemology, common to all philosophical systems, next to the scrutiny of essential character of knowledge in general and means thereof. Though the Nyaya and the Vaisesika developed as sister-schools, yet with a view to trace argumentation on this line common to the both, we want to confine main sources to some texts ascribed to (1) the later syncretic school Nyaya-Vaisesika'. This article is intended to clarify the Nyaya-Vaisesikas' theory about the ascertainment of truth of knowledge' (pramanya-jnapti), as compared with that held by the Mimamsakas. This problem is rather of later develop- ment, and the Mimamsakas, so far as we know from available sources, was the first to take it up. They succeeded best, with reference to the validity of verbal testimony only, in formulating the self-evident character of knowledge. In later period, however, the problem of truth relating to other kinds of knowledge also, with a natural process, has come into con. sideration for all philosophical systems. Truth' (pramanya) or falsity' (apramanya) is a property or truth-value ascribed to true knowledge (prama) or erroneous knowledge (aprama) respectively, and is determined in accordance as cognition corresponds to f acts. In traditional Western logic, 'true' or 'false' is usually used to characterize a proposition which is materially true or false, while the term valid' or 'invalid' is used to denote a proposition as logically true or false.

  • EPISTEMIC JUSTIFICATION : an INDIAN PERSPECTIVE Ruchira Majumdar
    EPISTEMIC JUSTIFICATION : AN INDIAN PERSPECTIVE Ruchira Majumdar Introduction: In this paper I propose to explore possible ways to resolve the Gettier-type problems, both in western epistemology wherefrom the problem has originated and in Indian epistemology, wherefrom I expect to find a possible solution. Accordingly, I have divided my paper into two broad sections:in the first section, I have briefly explained the Gettier problem, some of its proposed solutions and the principal criticisms against them. In the second section I have discussed the Gettier problem from Indian perspective and its possible solution in 'naturalised' Nyaya-epistemology. I The Notion of Knowledge : In the history of western epistemology, it has been a long and sustained attempt to specify the necessary and sufficient conditions of knowledge. In other words, the perennial question is: When one claims, "I know that P," what are the conditions he has to satisfy to establish and vindicate one's claim? Plato, in his Theatetus had highlighted this question and the epistemologists of even today, are toiling after its answer. Presuming that we restrict knowledge to propositional knowledge alone, in almost all cases, knowledge has been traditionally defined as justified true belief (JTB) generally, the analysis of knowledge has been specified on three conditions as the necessary and sufficient conditions of knowledge, Prof. Chisholm has explained these three conditions as: a) S knows that p, iff, 1. S accepts that p 2. p is true 3. S has adequate evidence that P. Prof. Ayer has described these three conditions as: (b) S knows that P, iff, 14 Philosophy and the Life-world Vol.
