Some Aspects of the Paradigm of Sanskrit Learning
Main issue of this article is the verification of a thesis on existence in Indian culture special paradigm of learning – paradigm of Sanskrit learning. The verification is made through the investigation of two aspects of the paradigm, close but not identical with the aspects of paradigm of Western epistemology and logic. The first (unchanged evaluation of knowledge as a necessary instrument for the implementation of main goals of human existence) contributed to the humanitarization of the system of traditional knowledge. The second aspect of Sanskrit paradigm is the limitations of reason’s capabilities. Together with close relations in India between philosophy and religion this limitation determined the unfolding of logical argumentation simultaneously on two levels: logical and metaphysical, and the existence of paradoxical structures in Indian discourse.
