This book deals with the philosophy of Daya Krishna, an Indian
philosopher of the twentieth century. It discusses the central
issues in Daya Krishna's early philosophy as a synthesis of the
Indian and Western philosophical methods. It presents problems of
the past and the present in a holistic frame of creative
philosophizing. It provides a glimpse into the issues human beings
face in all vital areas of human civilization. It discusses the
nature of philosophy and the philosophical method in Daya Krishna's
syncretic philosophy. Issues such as self and freedom and ethics
and religion are explored in the chapters. It is of interest to
those who are engaged with Indian philosophy and Indian
philosophers of the twentieth century and especially to those whose
interest lies in understanding the cultural East and its
philosophical responses to the cultural West.
This book explores the transition from the mind to the Supermind
within the scope of an evolutionary metaphysics. The idea of
Supermind has not been discussed so far in the mainstream
philosophy of mind and consciousness. This book will give a new
approach to the study of consciousness from the Indian vedantic
perspective which has introduced the idea of Supermind, especially
in the works of Sri Aurobindo. The book also undertakes a sustained
critique of the contemporary theories of mind which have promoted
mostly a mechanistic and naturalistic theory of mind and
consciousness. The book is meant for the researchers who are
engaged in the study of consciousness and for those who are
interested in the philosophy of mind in general. This book will
serve the purpose of the much-needed counter perspective to the
contemporary theories of mind working broadly within the
materialist traditions.
The present book intends to approach the problem of mind, meaning
and consciousness from a non-naturalist or transcendental point of
view. The naturalization of consciousness has reached a dead-end.
There can be no proper solution to the problem of mind within the
naturalist framework. This work intends to reverse this trend and
bring back the long neglected transcendental theory laid down by
Kant and Husserl in the West and Vedanta and Buddhism in India. The
novelty of this approach lies in how we can make an autonomous
space for mind and meaning without denying its connection with the
world. The transcendental theory does not disown the embodied
nature of consciousness, but goes beyond the body in search of
higher meanings and values. The scope of this work extends from
mind and consciousness to the world and brings the world into the
space of mind and meaning with a hope to enchant the world. The
world needs to be retrieved from the stranglehold of scientism and
naturalism. This book will dispel the illusion about naturalism
which has gripped the minds of our generation. The researchers
interested in the philosophy of mind and consciousness can benefit
from this work.

Language, Reality, and Transcendence deals with the later
philosophy of Wittgenstein by delving into language, grammar, rule,
self, world, culture, and value. Wittgenstein has given a
comprehensive philosophy of man and the world and has dealt with
the destiny of man by outlining the moral and the spiritual goals
of human life. In this work, the nature of Wittgenstein's
transcendent metaphysics of man and the ultimate reality has been
outlined.
