Thinker, Thought and Knowledge

In East-west Perspective

About this book

Thinker, Thought and Knowledge critically and analytically reasons that some of the philosophical expositions like "thought has created the thinker" and "higher-order thoughts are themselves conscious" hinder us from explaining our sense of unity of consciousness. This book presents and elucidates some observations – thought cannot create thinker; along with thinker and thought, thinking too is quintessential for individual experience to take place; thinker, thinking and thought are fundamentally one in self-consciousness; thought becomes the object of self-consciousness; and the modern science attempts to undermine the principle of causation – from the East–West perspective, and registers its disproval with the philosophical views of scholars like J. Krishnamurti and a few other modern philosophers.
