About the Book
World View and Theory in Indian Philosophy explores the complex and rarely investigated relation between world views upheld by Indian philosophers and philosophical theories they developed. What was the actual background (social, cultural, religious, linguistic, etc.) of world views and philosophical concepts in ancient and classical India? How did world views influence philosophical theories developed in ancient and mediaeval South Asia? Is it at all possible to draw a distinction between a philosophical theory and a world view in Indian context?
These are by no means trivial questions, and the insight gained through their analysis in the context of Indian culture can also contribute to our better understanding of philosophical enquiry in other cultural contexts where philosophy was cultivated.
A number of world renowned scholars have contributed to this volume, exploring major philosophical schools such as Buddhism, Jainism, Anviksiki, Nyaya, vaisesika, Mimamsa, Vedanta, Sankhya, Yoga, materialist as well as legal schools of thought. The reader will find illuminating insights into how Indian philosophers viewed the foundations of reason, how they rationalised emotions and comprehended their role, how they understood the concepts of the individual or self vis-a-vis impersonal ism and where roots of Indian epistemology and logic may lie, among other matters in this timely volume.
