Intricacies of Epistemology: Advanced Mimamsa Course – HUA

Epistemology, the study of knowledge, holds significant importance in the diverse knowledge traditions of ancient India, including both Vedic and non-Vedic streams. Various systems of thought systematically develop a science of knowledge, exploring what can be known through human cognition, what can be inferred through reasoning but not perceived, and what remains unknowable within a particular philosophical framework. One such system, Purva-mimamsa, not only deals with hermeneutics but also presents notable theories related to epistemology.
