Course Description:
Are diverse philosophies under Hinduism complementary, supplementary or entirely different? How do they make sense together towards our material and spiritual existence? The course discusses selected Hindu philosophies with an applied orientation towards spirituality. The Hindu worldview led to diverse philosophical traditions. These traditions enjoy their distinct presence and at the same time, also take part in issues of inter-philosophical and/or multi-philosophical interest among them. The course introduces the Hindu philosophical systems (Darśana). It provides a background for reflection upon the philosophical unity that underlies all of them in theory as well as practice. It further explores how these different Darśanas (Hindu philosophies) make sense together towards a holistic spiritual existence in Hindu worldview. It comprises themes based on selected content from six major Vedic Darśanas: Sāṃkhya-Yoga, Nyāya-Vaiśeṣika and Mīmāṃsā-Vedānta.
