Contemporary Analysis of Indian Philosophy
Abstract- The research paper ‘Contemporary Analysis of Indian Philosophy’ explores the relevance and impact of Indian philosophical traditions in modern times. Indian philosophy, with its rich heritage and diverse schools of thought such as Vedanta, Samkhya, Yoga, Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Mimamsa, Jainism, and Buddhism, offers profound insights into the nature of reality, ethics, and the human condition. This study examines the historical development of these traditions and their core concepts, including Dharma, Karma, Moksha, and the relationship between Atman and Brahman. In the contemporary context, Indian philosophy continues to influence various aspects of modern life, including social, ethical, and global thought. The paper highlights how these ancient ideas contribute to contemporary ethical debates, environmental sustainability, and personal well-being through practices like Yoga and mindfulness. Comparative analysis with Western philosophical traditions reveals a dynamic dialogue that enriches both perspectives. The paper also discusses the practical applications of Indian philosophical concepts in areas such as education, politics, and social justice. Future research directions include exploring the potential of Indian philosophy in digital ethics, global governance, and intercultural dialogue.
