Indian Epistemology: At the Confluence of Life and Reality Suresh Mandal, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Philosophy, Berhampore College, West Bengal, India | |
Indian epistemology is one of the most important branches
of ancient Indian philosophical traditions. It presents an in-depth analysis of
knowledge, its sources, types, and the question of its validity. Various Indian
philosophical systems—such as Nyāya, Vaiśeṣika, Sāṁkhya, Yoga, Mīmāṁsā, and Vedānta—have provided detailed explanations of the nature of
knowledge and the means of acquiring it (pramāṇas). This research paper examines the
fundamental framework of Indian epistemology, different methods of knowledge
such as perception (pratyakṣa), inference (anumāna), comparison (upamāna), and verbal testimony (śabda), and how these influence life and reality. In
addition, the paper discusses the relevance and applicability of Indian
epistemology in the context of modern epistemological thought. In particular,
it focuses on how Indian epistemology can offer philosophical insights into the
nature of knowledge and the search for truth in the age of science and
technology. | |
