Overview


The self & truth are unconcealed by listening, examining and contemplating upon, Maitreyi!
Once it manifests - listened, examined, and contemplated – all is unconcealed!

With the proliferation of opportunities in the present world, human life encounters disparate choices and situations that bear directly on decision-making processes and our attitudes towards social, moral and intellectual environment. In this context, the philosophical debates and discourses offer rationally persuasive insights, thus enabling us to understand the multiperspectivity of truths by listening, examining and contemplating.

The Philosophy program, offered at MAHE, involves careful reading, analysis and interpretation of philosophical discourses, and introduces?philosophising as a skill set?which students can incorporate in their approach (further studies/research) to other academic fields, as an acquired life skill, and as a professional competence necessary for diverse professional pursuits. This program offers an intensive course of study which allows students to engage and employ theoretical and practical facets of philosophy and liberal arts.

With a special focus on Indian Philosophy, the program promotes a dialogue between the subfields of Western and Non-western Philosophies and other disciplines. A combination of Sanskrit and English language-based teaching method equips the students with the knowledge and reflective tools necessary for autonomous engagements with complex textual and philosophical language, while bringing into question the nature and scope of these reflective capacities.

Additionally, this Program aims to represent a reciprocal correspondence between classical and contemporary philosophy - drawing on history of philosophy for insights into contemporary debates and extending the present philosophical apparatus to understand the classics. The program has been designed to accommodate students from diverse academic backgrounds and offer ample exposure to variety of philosophical subjects such as epistemology, metaphysics, ethics and aesthetics. With a structured curriculum which gradually proceeds from beginners to advance levels of study, it prepares the students to specialize in the subjects which best serve their intellectual growth.
