Quest for Life: A Philosophical Analysis in the Light of Indian Philosophy Dr. Maitri Goswami, Research Scholar, Dept. of Philosophy, Kazi Nazrul University, Paschim Bardhaman, West Bengal, India | ||
ABSTRACT | ||
It is undoubtedly true that the Indian Philosophy explores deep
questions about life and the world. The great thinkers of India across
centuries have tried to enquire regarding the following questions, what is the
nature of existence? what is the source of suffering (duḥkha)? how
can suffering be overcome? what is the ultimate reality? These questions have
been answered in many ways, leading to a variety of philosophical traditions. In
this regard we can say that the orthodox (āstika) schools of Indian Philosophy like Nyāya, Vaiśeṣika, Sāṃkhya,
Yoga, Pūrva-Mīmāṃsā, and Vedānta—analyze the reality through logic,
metaphysics, and spiritual discipline. And the heterodox (nāstika) schools
of Indian Philosophy like Buddhism, Jainism, and Cārvāka—offer
alternative explanations and rejected Vedic authority. The schools of Indian
Philosophy proposed unique paths for the cessation of suffering and the
attainment of liberation (mokṣa). We can see that, their methods differ, but all
these systems share a common aim to make human beings understand the meaning of
life, confront suffering, and move toward truth, knowledge, and liberation (mokṣa). This
article offers a brief outline of the above discussion as discussed by the
schools of Indian Philosophy. In this regard the article will focus the
fundamental questions of existence and will show the diversity of answers to reach
the intellectual depth and inclusivity of Indian thought. | ||
