The Concept of Self in Nyaya Philosophy: An Analytical Study Lakhindar Mondal, Research Scholar, Department of Philosophy, University of Burdwan, West Bengal, India | ||
ABSTRACT | ||
From the time of antiquity philosophers mind has been traveled with a basic question–who am I? All the Indian philosophical schools have tried to meet this question by admitting one or other version of theory of the substratum theory of self. But this line of thinking is nullified by the Buddhist, as they think what we call self or ego is nothing but a stream of a momentary consciousness. This bundle or conglomeration theory has been refuted by udayana in his Ᾱatmatattvavivek. The polemic of udayana has been developed on the account of self-embedded in nyāya Sutra and vāsya in this paper and attempt would be made to give an outline of self-advocated by ôkkhôpad, vātsyāna and udyotakara. Side by side an attempt would be made to reject the buddhist account of no-soul-theory. | ||
