Epistemology is an important subject of study across several śāstras in the Indic knowledge tradition, in both Vedic and non-Vedic streams. Each of these knowledge systems systematically develops a science of knowledge i.e. examining what is knowable, through human cognition, what is inferable through methods of reasoning, but not perceivable, and what is unknowable within a system of thought. While theories of hermeneutics emerge most significantly from the tradition of Pūrva-mīmāṁsā, some important theories pertaining to epistemology are also notable in this system. In discussing what is knowable within a thought system, knowledge itself is often discussed and defined in various Hindu knowledge systems, with great precision. 

Mimamsa Advanced Course Content: 

This course involves the study of the epistemology of the Bhatta school of Purva-mimamsa, propagated by Kumarilabhatta.

« Por muchos siglos, los pensadores de la India que han escrito sobre la práctica de darsana se han referido a los sad darsana, o seis sistemas de la filosofía. Sin embargo, en la India se han desarrollado mucho más sistemas filosóficos que estos. Hablar, por lo tanto, de los seis sistemas de la filosofía de la India es hacer un gran perjuicio a la tradición filosófica de la India. Debido que en…

(...), mientras que el Mīmāṃsā Sūtra investiga el dharma, el Brahma Sūtra es una investigación sobre el brahman. (...). Estos dos textos articulan las dos grandes áreas de interés de las tradiciones hindúes: por una parte, el dharma, foco de atención del cabeza de familia brahmán; por otra parte, el brahman, concepto clave para el renunciante en busca de la liberación (Flood, 1998, p. 257).
