| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Idealism has been a popular movement both in the East and in the
West. The nineteenth century western Philosophy, largely dominated
by idealism, was in a complacent ascendancy in Britain, Germany and
America even at the turn of the Century. Indian soil has particularly
been fertile for idealistic growth, and it is only a truism to say that
contemporary Indian thinking is out and out idealistic in its temperament.
However, it is not proper to say that the contemporary Indian
philosophising is a mere revival of ancient speculation. The cultural
contact India had with the west through British rule and introduction
of English education made it possible for Indian thinkers to forge ahead
of mere revival of the ancient views and endeavour for reinterpretation
and adding new ideas based on the climate of cultural assimilation.
Some of the Indian thinkers tried to develop a synthetic philosophy on
the structural base of idealism. |
