The
term Indian philosophy (Sanskrit: Darshanas)[1]
may refer to any of several traditions of philosophical thought that originated
in the Indian subcontinent. Traditionally, six schools of thought propagated
Vedic wisdom, each from a different philosophical perspective. The sad-darshana (six philosophical views)
are nyaya (logic), vaisesika (atomic theory), sankhya (analysis of matter and spirit),
yoga (the discipline of
self-realization), mimamsa (science
of fruitive work) and vedanta
(science of God realization).[2]
This paper deals with the Vaisheshika philosophy. Vaisheshika traces the
variety of the objects of the world to the combination of material atoms of
different kinds and qualities. The Vaisheshika philosophy is pluralistic
realism which emphasizes that diversity is soul of the universe.[3]
This paper discusses in brief some major concepts of this philosophy.
