    Bhakti in the Bhagvadgītā.Binod Kumar Agarwala - 2025 - Journal of the Indian Council of Philosophical Research 42 (1):17-47.
    The present essay intends to delineate the sense of bhakti in the Bhagavadgītā. There are two notions of bhakti: one having its roots in the Ṛgveda and the other originating with the Bhāgavata Purāṇa. The Vedic notion of bhakti was more or less forgotten by the time of the Bhāgavata Purāṇa. Most of modern commentators, when they trace the lineage of bhakti to the Vedas, try to understand and interpret it in light of the later notion of bhakti. The earlier (...)

    Ancient Sceptics and the Basis of Their Actions: A Comparative Study of Jayarāśi Bhatta and the Pyrrhonists.Arunima Chakraborty - 2025 - Journal of the Indian Council of Philosophical Research 42 (1):111-119.
    Tattvopaplavada, an ancient Indian school of scepticism, and Pyrrhonism, an ancient Greek school of scepticism, are the objects of examination of this paper because while, on the one hand, both attack the senses and reason as means of valid knowledge, on the other hand, both can serve as a basis for questioning Faith as the fount of human action. The aim of the paper is to examine how can these two schools of scepticism, which assert the impossibility of valid knowledge, (...)

    Nietzsche’s Vision of Humanity: From Free Spirit to Übermensch.Avothung Ezung - 2025 - Journal of the Indian Council of Philosophical Research 42 (1):49-66.
    The study aims to fill a conceptual gap that occurs between Nietzsche’s free spirit and the appearance of Übermensch. Nietzsche has been recognized as an exceptional scholar in the history of modern philosophy and in many domains of contemporary analysis. To date, Nietzsche remains one of the most challenging thinkers of all time. Much attention has been paid by academics to Nietzsche’s major philosophical works such as the concept of Übermensch (Overman), will to power, the death of God, and his (...)

    The Synthesis of Jñāna and Bhakti in Advaita Vedānta Through Svāmī Vidyāraṇya’s Lens.Lalita Hotkar, R. Lalitha Sharma & K. Ramasubramanian - 2025 - Journal of the Indian Council of Philosophical Research 42 (1):1-15.
    The path of devotion (bhakti-mārga) is firmly rooted in duality, whereas the path of knowledge (jñāna-mārga), particularly in the Advaita tradition, establishes non-duality. Thus, the two streams seem to be quite divergent in nature, having no connection with each other. The present paper examines the pivotal role of bhakti in Advaita Vedānta, with a specific focus on Svāmī Vidyāraṇya’s elucidations. It explores the intrinsic connection between the paths of devotion and knowledge, highlighting their substantial role in the attainment of mokṣa (...)

    Michael Dummett’s Semantic Anti-Realism.Pragyanparamita Mohapatra - 2025 - Journal of the Indian Council of Philosophical Research 42 (1):67-92.
    Dummett construes that the issue of realism does not centre around the nature of entities; it is rather associated with the nature of truth. The real question is not the objectivity of entities of a certain class; it is rather a question of objective truth of statements of a certain class, and the class possesses an objective truth value independently of our means of knowing it. This has been criticized by Dummett in his proposal of an anti-realist position. The disputed (...)

    Engaging Beauvoir on Surrogate Motherhood: An Existential Feminist Perspective.Zairu Nisha - 2025 - Journal of the Indian Council of Philosophical Research 42 (1):121-132.
    The paper critically engages with Simone de Beauvoir’s promising claim that reproductive technology is the emancipatory tool for women and the Indian problem of surrogacy. Beauvoir believes in voluntary motherhood in which reproductive technologies play a significant role in empowering women. Although in India, surrogacy is seen as a choice-based job, surrogate mothers are subjected to exploitation, commodification, poor living conditions, and unethical treatment. I argue that Beauvoir’s description of technology and motherhood needs further revision in today’s world where surrogacy (...)

    Ethics-Oriented Business Strategy and Prioritization of Profit Over Corporate Social Responsibility.Barada Laxmi Panda & Soumyajit Das Sarkar - 2025 - Journal of the Indian Council of Philosophical Research 42 (1):93-109.
    The rationale that led to the articulation of this paper originates in the ambiguous nature of what is known to be the responsibilities of a business enterprise, if any at all, toward the market it serves. Is the relationship simply one of demand–supply and circulation of financial and other resources? Or is there more to it? Contrary to popular belief perhaps, there is an ethical angle to the subject. In recent years, substantial attention has turned to this ethical angle; something (...)

    Tractatus 6.54 and S.N Ganguly: An Indian Wittgensteinian in Retrospect.Priyambada Sarkar - 2025 - Journal of the Indian Council of Philosophical Research 42 (1):133-151.
    ‘Tractatus, since I first read it, has been a constant source of philosophical inspiration to me’ so says Ganguly in the preface of his book Wittgenstein’s Tractatus: A Preliminary. This extraordinary commentary on Tractatus is unique in the sense that it has discussed all the commentaries available at that time while examining and critiquing, wherever necessary, the commentaries as well as the original with utmost passion and sincerity. His approach to the author was feasibly sympathetic and sensitive, though he never (...)

    Laudan's Normative Naturalism: An Analytical Review.Shonkholen Mate - 2025 - Journal of the Indian Council of Philosophical Research 42.
    Larry Laudan (Philosophy of Science, 57(1), 44-59, Studies in History and Philosophy of Science, 21(2), 315-322) proposes and defends a naturalistic philosophy of science called normative naturalism. The paper will delineate the cardinal features of normative naturalism and some of the critiques against it. The objective of the paper is to present an analytical review of normative naturalism. The objections raised in this paper are limited to evaluating Laudan’s normative naturalism in the light of his theory of axiology. We will (...)
