Indian Philosophy: MetaphysicsRoy W. Perrett Taylor & Francis, 2001 - 400 من الصفحات First Published in 2001. Part of the Indian Philosophy collection of readings, this volume focuses on Metaphysics. The complement to pramdna theory is prameya theory. Wherea s th e pramdnas are the means of knowledge, the prameyas are the knowables. cognizable entities which constitute the world. With respect to the number and kinds of such entities, there was a very wide variety of opinion among classical Indian philosophers. Moreover, since according to most Indian systems knowledge of reality is at least a necessary condition for liberation, these metaphysical disputes were taken to be of practical as well as theoretical import. |
