Description
This volume critically examines six epistemological theories of the Advaita school of Vedanta: pratyaksha (perception), upamana (comparison), anupalabdhi (non-cognition), anumana (inference), arthapatti (postulation), and shabda (testimony). To facilitate a smooth understanding, it also explores the fundamental concepts of prama (conceptions of knowledge) and pramana (methods of knowing), which form the foundation of all epistemological discussions.
The book highlights the problems, concepts, and theories of the Vedantins while engaging with modern Western philosophical thought. Through critical analysis, comparison, and evaluation, the author formulates key epistemological doctrines of Advaita Vedanta and demonstrates their value as significant contributions to global philosophy.
Aimed at students skeptical of traditional thought and trained in Western philosophy, this book presents a strong case for Advaita Vedanta, making it an insightful read for students, teachers, and followers of Vedantic philosophy.
