About the Book:

In contemporary philosophy, the analytical study of human action has become an essential aspect of philosophical inquiry. Understanding human conduct is not only significant from an ethical standpoint but also critical in every field where human beings interact and react. This book is a comprehensive attempt to explore various analytical perspectives on voluntary action.

The author critically assesses some of the recent views on voluntary action by contemporary thinkers, while also delving into Indian philosophical traditions—specifically the Nyaya, Advaita, and Mimamsa systems—to enrich the understanding of voluntary action. Through this comparative analysis, the book seeks to reconstruct and re-evaluate classical Indian ideas on action.

The six chapters are interconnected, addressing a range of issues related to human action, and together they offer a well-rounded perspective on the philosophy of action. This work is particularly valuable for anyone seeking to explore the concept of voluntary action from both Western and Indian philosophical viewpoints.
