Samkhya-Yoga Philosophy of Consciousness

0 - Default Title
Description
This book exclusively deals with the study of consciousness in Samkhya-Yoga Philosophy. Samkhya-Yoga is two allied philosophical systems in which consciousness is the focal point of discussion. The book investigates consciousness from metaphysical, epistemological and ethical or normative perspectives. Concepts such as Duhkha (suffering), Purusa (consciousness), Chitta (self/the mental), chittavrti (mental modification), Prakrti and Trigunas (nature and its attributes) are critically discussed to reconstruct the metaphysics of consciousness. All the chapters have contemporary relevance as they delve into the nature of causation and provide an all-inclusive viewpoint of consciousness by emphasizing its normative perspective. The contributions in the book are from eminent scholars working in the field of consciousness and other related topics such as cognition, mind, causality, knowledge and liberation. The book provides a comprehensive viewpoint of consciousness by emphasizing its normative perspective concerning the notion of engaged selfhood for jivanmukta. It is an invaluable resource for contemporary readers in the field of philosophy of mind across Indian and Western philosophy traditions.
