Abstract:
A comparative analysis of Western and Indian philosophy reveals the differing viewpoints on basic issues like existence, knowledge, and ethics. Western philosophy, which can be traced back to ancient Greece and modern thought, examines ideas like rationality, empiricism, and existentialism. Indian philosophy, on the other hand, is based in ancient books like the Vedas and Upanishads and emphasizes concepts like dharma, karma, and moksha. This comparative examination reveals both areas of convergence and divergence across different traditions by exploring their differing techniques, metaphysical presumptions, and ethical frameworks. It aims to expand our comprehension of human cognition and experience via critical analysis, promoting intercultural communication and enhancing philosophical conversation in a global setting.
