About the Book

Philosophy is interesting for all but it is understood differently. The attempt is to present it, upto a certain extent, in an interrogative manner. Each read takes very little time, as little as a minute, because it is presented precisely. It understands Philosophy in the sense it is understood worldwide. It encourages the rational faculties promoting overall personality development. It is useful across all branches of knowledge. It is applicable to studies with inter-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary fields. It is a source-book for all Board of Studies of Autonomous Colleges, Universities – Central, State, Private and Deemed – helping them to frame their syllabi in Philosophy suggesting the direction in which topics can be included. Vivid illustrations enhance the strength of its message to communicate the content. It is the pioneering attempt of this kind in Philosophy. Contents - 1.
