An Enquiry Into The Hermeneutical Understanding Of Yogi-Pratyaksa In Jain Philosophy : A Study On Extrasensory Perception |Dr Jibin Paul|MLBD Publications

About The Book:
Extrasensory perception has long been a subject of both fascination and controversy. Yogi-pratyakṣa, an umbrella term denoting extrasensory perception, is explored in this book as a distinct phenomenon. Emphasizing a hermeneutical approach, the work delves into the soteriological and epistemological dimensions of yogi-pratyakṣa. Jainism offers a particularly unique perspective by aligning yogi-pratyakṣa with these philosophical domains more explicitly than other Indian traditions. By interpreting its nature and function within the framework of Jain thought, this book examines how this interpretive lens provides context-specific solutions to key philosophical questions, offering a fresh and distinctive perspective on the intersection of epistemology and soteriology in Jainism.
