Description
About the book :
What
is the philosophy of India? This question is as silly as the question: 'Do you
speak Indian?' For, the expression 'the philosophy of India' is vacuous. This
book tries to tackle thatproblem by focusing on a few chosen issues and debates
rather than on particular texts. And neither does it make any attempt to
present a comprehensive history of all the schools nor does it offer any chronological
chronicling of the views of particular philosophers nor does it risk unearthing
one running general thematic unity such as 'the Spirit of India' or 'the Essential
Indian Mind'. It sheds light on sceptics, agnostics, mystics, monists,
dualists, pluralists, realists, idealists, materialists, epistemologists, ethicists,
aesthetes, political theorists, jurists, grammarians, lexicographers, theists,
atheists, radicals and reconcilers who keep arguing against each other, each
searching for their own preferred form of 'liberation from anxiety and
suffering'. The Book of Questions thus proposes to inspire a systematic argumentative
pedagogy of philosophical interrogation and debate.
