Quest for Life: A Philosophical Analysis in the Light of Indian Philosophy Dr. Maitri Goswami, Independent Research Scholar, Ushagram, Asansol, 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. | ||
