| Summary: | Indian philosophy provides a paradigm for understanding human development. It places human development along the line of karma (affirmation), jñāna (rejection) and bhakti (accommodation). Those three attitudes can be observed both chronologically, as they describe the societal progress, and synchronically, as they describe individual ways of coping with the world. In this paper the attitude towards the body is being used as a template for understanding the attitude towards the world. |
