Book excerpt: Sabdapramana or 'Testimony' is a formidable doctrine within Indian philosophy. A thorough investigation of this thesis is long overdue. What is sabdapramana (word as knowledge)? What is involved in 'hearing' worlds? Is the understanding derived through hearing utterances direct or indirect? Does this peculiarly linguistic understanding (sabdabodha) amount to knowledge (prama), or does it depend on certain other conditions for its truth? Further, what sort of theories of meaning, understanding, and knowledge would be required to ground a successful sabdabodha as prama, need careful attention. It is sometimes said that Indian thinkers had no particularly interesting theory of understanding. The present work sets out to address these issues-issues that have engaged traditional and modern thinkers alike. Based on the classic text, Advaita Vedanta-paribhasa of Dharmarajadhvarindra (17th century), the anlaysis and arguments extend to the views of and criticisms from the Nyaya, Purva Mimamsa and the grammarian/linguistic schools within Indian philosophy, with a treatment of similar concerns in Western philosophy. There is a compelling thesis here that should be taken seriously in any philosophy. Long discarded as a distinct source of knowledge in Western philosophy, Testimony might be fruitfully re-examined. This could lead to mutual dialogue between philosophy and religion, and pave the way for critical metaphysics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mahadeviyakka, or Akkamahadevi was bom at Udutadi a village not far from Shimoga, which was then the capital ofking Kausika. Her parents were named Sumati and Nirmalay' Akkamahadevi herself seems to have had her initiation in early childhood and the impress of the seal of Grace must have been strong on her, for she was from that moment a dedicated child. Beautiful as she was in person (traditional biographers, in their charming old way, describe her as a Rudrakannike). She was more beautiful in mind and heart. So firm was her conviction of being already wedded to her lord Mallikaijuna, that at the age of eighteen, in a country, at a time noted for early marriages, she was still single. The turning-point in her life came when king Kausika, returning from a hunt, saw her among the crowd that had been drawn by the din and splendour ofthe cavalcade, and on the instant fell captive to her beauty.

This book was released on 2015-02-23 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr.Seshagiri Rao's work "Jayantha Bhatta on Sabda Pramana" is an important work in the field of Indian Philosophy. Sabda as pramana is unique as the understanding of linguistic utterances gives us more knowledge about the world than pratyaksa (perception) and anumana (inference). Sabda, in its varying forms is one of the fundamental sources for the sorts of experience and understanding that fall specifically with in the domain of religious discourse. The ramifications are enormous when we consider that sabda constituted by sruti such as the upanisads and certain other text of vedas, forms the basis for the authentication and acceptance of some very fundamental beliefs and ideas that are considered to be central to Hindu tradition. However, given the preoccupatiopn of Indian philosophy towards metaphysics, epistemology and even ethics, the philosophy of language is not sufficiently explicated in the early stages of Nyaya philosophy. This gap is filled by Jayanta Bhatta. The intervention of Jayanta Bhatta offered the architecture of language in a systematic manner in Nyaya philosophy. ---------Prof. K.S Prasad Department of Philosophy University of Hyderabad

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr PurusQttama Bilimoria's book on sabdapramaIJa is an important one, and so is likely to arouse much controversy. I am pleased to be able to write a Foreword to this book, at a stage in my philosophical thinking when my own interests have been turning towards the thesis of sabdapramaIJa as the basis of Hindu religious and philosophical tradition. Dr Bilimoria offers many novel interpretations of classical Hindu theories about language, meaning, understanding and knowing. These interpretations draw upon the conceptual resources of contemporary analytic and phenomenological philosophies, without sacrificing the authentIcity that can arise only out of philologically grounded scholarship. He raises many issues, and claims to have resolved some of them. Certainly, he advances the overall discussion, and this is the best one could hope for in writing on a topic to which the best minds of antiquity and modern times have applied themselves. In this Foreword, I wish to focus on one of the issues which I have raised on earlier occasions, and on which Dr Bilimoria has several important things to say. The issue is: is sabdabodha eo ipso a linguistic knowing, i. e. , sabdapramll, or does Sabdabodha amount to knowing only when certain specifiable conditions are satisfied. It the second alternative be accepted, these additional conditions could not be the same as the familiar Ilsatti (contiguity), yogyata (semantic fitness), dka;,k~ll (expectancy) and tlltparya (intention), for these are, on the theory, conditions of sabdabodha itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction Epistemology is considered as an essential part of philosophy. In the course of the development of the Indian systems, interest in epistemology gradually increased and it began to claim a large share in the philosophical discussions in almost every School of thought. The term 'epistemology' is derived from the Greek words 'Episteme' (knowledge or science) and 'Logos' (knowledge or information). William L. Rease defined Epistemology as the study of the theory of knowledge. Various philosophers have tried to define the term in their own way. Robert Audi called it as the study of (a) the defining features, (b) the substantive conditions, and (c) the limits of knowledge and justification. The study of the nature of knowledge is one of the core issues in epistemology. There is considerable agreement with regard to acceptability of knowledge as a value, but agreement about the nature of knowledge is not there. Philosophers disagree as to what the nature of knowledge is, and how it is acquired. All these issues belong to Epistemology such as what is knowledge, what is the origin of knowledge, what is the scope of knowledge, what are the various sources of knowledge and what is the validity of knowledge? J.F.Ferrier (Institute of Metaphysics, 1854) divided philosophy into ontology and epistemology. The word 'Epistemology' denotes the theory of valid knowledge, an important province of philosophical theory, and the doctrine on man's ability to cognize reality, on the sources, forms and methods of cognition, the truth and the ways of attaining it. The English word 'knowledge' translates the Sanskrit word jnana. The concept of knowledge has been source of attraction for thinkers all over the world since long. Some thinkers hold knowledge to be an act, some others regard it as a relation, and according to some it is self subsistent and for some others it is a quality1 . In Indian epistemology, two words are used to mean knowledge. They are jnana and prama. Jnana means all kinds of knowledge, true or false. When reality reveals true knowledge it is called prama or valid knowledge,

Download or read book The Six Ways of Knowing written by D. M. Datta and published by Motilal Banarsidass. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the Vedanta standpoint, according to which there are six sources of knowledge. The conceptions of these different kinds of knowledge, with all the arguments given by the Vedantins to prove their independence and ultimacy, are critically discussed here in the light of modern Western concepts, and the attempt has been made to present the conclusions to students of Western Philosophy in a clear and lucid form. As the purpose of this work is to bring the problems, concepts and theories of the Vedantins within the focus of modern Western thought, the method adopted is one of critical analysis, comparison issues from extraneous aspects with which they are often associated.
