Description

This book has risen in awareness of the need to reconcile the forces of tradition with those of modernity. It is not merely repetitive. There is, in it a definite attempt to construct a system. It develops under the conviction that the basic aim of philosophy is to cultivate a world – view. This requires an awareness of the existential condition of life as also the consciousness of life's ultimate ideal, viz.., redemption, not only of the individual, but of the total human race. It emphasizes the ultimacy of spiritual values; yet it demonstrates that the roots of spiritual life lie in conditions that are essentially existential. The present study seeks to highlight these aspects of Contemporary Indian Philosophy. It is an attempt to rethink in an academic manner. The thoughts of the contemporary thinkers, Swami Vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Thgore, Sri Aurobindo, Krishnachandra Bhattacharya, S Radhakrishnan, Sir Mohammad Iqbal. Different aspects of their thoughts have been categorized and placed under suitable philosophical heads in this work.
