Description:
This book provides a thorough investigation into the doctrine of Shabdapramana (Testimony) within Indian philosophy, exploring its significance as a distinct source of knowledge. It examines fundamental questions such as:
- What constitutes word as knowledge (shabdapramana)?
- How does hearing words lead to understanding?
- Is this linguistic understanding direct or indirect?
- What are the conditions necessary for testimony to be considered a valid source of knowledge (prama)?
Based on the Advaita Vedanta-paribhasha of Dharmarajadhvarindra (17th century), this work engages with Nyaya, Purva Mimamsa, and linguistic traditions in Indian philosophy, while also drawing parallels with Western philosophical discourse.
By re-examining Testimony as a legitimate epistemological source, this book opens avenues for philosophical dialogue between Indian and Western thought, as well as between philosophy and religion, offering insights that contribute to critical metaphysics.
