The Disinterested Witness
Angebote / Angebote:
The Disinterested Witness is a detailed, contextual, and interpretive study of the concept of saksin (or that which directly or immediately perceives) in Advaita Vedanta, and a fascinating and significant comparison of the philosophies of the East and West. Central to its topic is its comparison of the Advaita notion of witness-consciousness with similar notions in Western phenomenology.Gupta explores the phenomenological relevance of the concept of saksin in Indian philosophy, while at the same time demonstrating that the notion of witness-consciousness is essential for any sound theory of knowledge. Addressing a wide range of epistemological issues and dilemmas, as well as the perceived commonalities and differences between Eastern and Western philosophy, The Disinterested Witness is a major contribution to comparative philosophy, and forms a vantage point for cross-cultural comparison.
