Language: EnglishPages: 228ForewordKnowledge, it is claimed, leads to liberation (rite jyananna muktih). This assertion is based on the realization that the suffering in our lives is due to ignorance or inadequate knowledge. This holds true not only in the case of spiritual or adhyatmik knowledge but also for the domain of laukik knowledge located in every day life. Indeed, appreciating reality and relating to it in systematic and unambiguous way is one of the chief characteristics of true cognition. The notions of satya and rita have been in the center of Indian thought since Vedic period. Truth as Upanishads say is not something obvious.

The ideal of sachidanand, the experience of being, consciousness and bliss, is characterized by a mode of understanding that invites an integral vision. It is therefore not surprising to find

Bibliography. Index. The question of knowledge brings in its train a host of other contentious issues. What is nature of knowledge. How is it acquired. How do we judge the validity of knowledge these are questions which have evoked multiple response from the people concerned. Among the six schools of thought the Nyaya philosophy is very much capable to address the above mentioned questions. Nyaya as a science lays down the rules and methods that are essentially necessary for a clear and precise understanding of all the materials of our knowledge. Almost all the Indian philosophies have been greatly influenced by logical and dialectical technicalities of Nyaya epistemology which indicated its supremacy in the field of epistemology. As a thorough going realistic view of the universe Nyaya supplies an important eastern parallel to the triumphant modern realism of the west and contains the anticipations as well as possible alternatives of many contemporaries realistic theories. The book provides a detailed account of Nyaya philosophy from the perspective of Naiyayika way of knowing. It examines the Nyaya way of knowing and highlights its scope and interface with education. In short what follows is a detailed resume of the epistemological mapping of broadways of Naiyayika assumptions a reflective response to the conceptual contours and the educational import of Nyaya epistemology. 207 pp. Seller Inventory # 54464
