  • 22:3722:37, 13 June 2024 diff hist +7,353‎ N Maya and the Self ‎ Created page with "When we strive to obtain knowledge about an object, there are three factors involved in the process of obtaining knowledge: the subject, the object to be known, and the internal instrument by which the subject obtains knowledge of the object. In both science and Western philosophy, the focus is entirely on knowing the object without regard to the nature of the internal instrument that we use to obtain knowledge. In Vedānta, the situation is drastically different becaus..."

  • 22:3322:33, 13 June 2024 diff hist +8,174‎ N The Philosophical Underpinnings of Knowledge Generation ‎ Created page with "Bhaskar Kamble (The Imperishable Seed) shows how most of the mathematics we take for granted has its strongest roots in India. Apart from the value of zero in mathematical operations, Brahmagupta, Bhāskara 1, Bhāskara 2, Mahāvīra, and the Kerala mathematicians laid the foundations in the fields of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, combinatorics, linguistics, and calculus starting in the 5th century of the Common Era. Many of the ‘inventions’ and ‘di..."
  • 22:3122:31, 13 June 2024 diff hist +9,108‎ N Yoga, Science and Metaphysics ‎ Created page with "Yoga is obtaining knowledge of the immortal Self, which frees man from the shackles of prakṛti. All orthodox and non-orthodox schools (except Cārvāka) give importance to Yoga and meditation in their schemes of things. The first five aṅgas(parts) of Yoga are the preparations for the higher states: yama, niyama, āsana, prāṇāyāma, and pratyāhāra. The first two (yama and niyama) are for control of desires and emotions; the next two (āsana and prāṇāyāma) e..."

  • 22:2422:24, 13 June 2024 diff hist +9,218‎ N Knowledge and Epistemology ‎ Created page with "'''Epistemology In Western Definitions''' It is surprising that western philosophy, which prides itself on scientific innovation and technology, does not seem to have a proper theory of knowledge or epistemology. It has hardly spent time on developing the meaning of knowledge and methods to acquire it. The standard definition of knowledge in western philosophy is justified true belief (JTB). In 1963, American philosopher Edmund Gettier presented two famous counterexampl..."
  • 22:2122:21, 13 June 2024 diff hist +9,084‎ N Advaita, Nyaya, and the Perceptual Process ‎ Created page with "There are philosophers who argue that there can be no means to know whether there are real objects in the world, given that everything we experience arises in our minds and is contained in the mind itself. This is a philosophical position termed “Idealism.” There are many variants of Idealism, from the kind first proposed in the West by Berkeley (1685–1753) to the later variants known as Phenomenology and Existentialism, but they all fit into the broad category cal..."

  • 22:0822:08, 13 June 2024 diff hist +7,707‎ N Causality, Karma and Rebirth ‎ Created page with "The Self, being of the nature of consciousness, is self-effulgent. And it has, by virtue of its self-effulgence, the capacity to reveal objects directly and instantaneously. The absence of ubiquitous perception indicates that there is some primal covering over the Self, which obstructs its natural revealing power from revealing the objects of the world. In Indian philosophy, this obstruction of the Self is the body itself. Embodiment is three-layered. At its most primal..."
  • 22:0322:03, 13 June 2024 diff hist +7,253‎ N Consciousness and Ontology in Indian Philosophies ‎ Created page with "Indian and western philosophies distinctly differ on many issues. Fundamentally, Consciousness (also known as the Self, Puruṣa, Cognizer) is primary in Indian traditions; it is secondary to matter in western traditions. Consciousness does not include a deep sleep state in western definitions. In Indian traditions, the three brain states are the awake state, the dream state, and the deep sleep state, and ‘Consciousness’ is transcendental to all three. Mind and matte..."

  • 21:4821:48, 13 June 2024 diff hist +6,989‎ N Ontology in Western and Indian Descriptions ‎ Created page with "Ontology (‘onto’- real or existence; ‘logia– science) studies what is real and what exists. When it comes to perceiving objects in the external world, the standard Western paradigm is that light falls on an object first. This reflected light enters the eyes and falls on the retina, from where neural impulses travel via the nerves to a region of the brain. Here, the image gets a reconstruction, and the person ‘sees’ the object. The same sequence is true for al..."

  • 21:4221:42, 13 June 2024 diff hist +8,174‎ N What Represents Hindu Religion ‎ Created page with "Indian knowledge traditions are not the exclusive hold of any single country, faith, or community. The main point is that India had a huge corpus of literature covering all aspects of life by reflecting its own experiences and using its own metaphysics. The knowledge tradition had very exacting standards which led them to postulate the laws of motion and create perfect astronomical tables on the one hand; while on the other, for example, devise plastic surgery techniques..."
