Classical Vaisesika in Indian Philosophy (eBook, ePUB)

On Knowing and What is to Be Known

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Vaisesika is one of the six systems of Hindu philosophy. It represents a pluralistic realism and is usually held to be an atomistic, metaphysical theory. This book explores the basic tenets of the Vaisesika classical school of Indian philosophy from a new perspective. It argues that it reveals an epistemological formulation of its own, which was diminished due to later developments in the history of Indian philosophical tradition.
