In contrast, the Vedanta school of Indian philosophy asserts that phenomenal consciousness is merely a manifestation of self-consciousness, which is embodied in human beings. According to this perspective, phenomenal consciousness and self-consciousness are fundamentally the same, as the former depends on the latter—eliminating the explanatory gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA similar issue arises in Western philosophy concerning the \u003cem\u003emind-body problem\u003c\/em\u003e, where the mind is often treated as synonymous with consciousness. This book addresses these philosophical challenges by integrating insights from Indian philosophy and the existential philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre. In both these traditions, there is no explanatory gap in phenomenal consciousness, nor does the mind-body problem arise in the way it does in Western discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is an essential read for scholars of philosophy, particularly those interested in Indian metaphysics, consciousness studies, and existential thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. V.
