Progress Philosophy

 


Progress Philosophy (“jativada”)-  Progress philosophy asserts that one can achieve complete freedom from bondage—which is defined in the Indian context as the end of rein carnation (samsara) and final soul liberation (moksha)—and that one can also specify the necessary and sufficient conditions that allow human beings to achieve this freedom.

Progress philosophy, on the whole, emphasizes progressive spiritual accomplishment, with very little starts leading to the final objective.

As a result, progress philosophers prefer to emphasize certain religious routes that will lead to the ultimate goal, as well as the importance of activities (especially ritual deeds) as crucial aspects of this journey.

The combined Nyaya Vaisheshika school, the combined Samkhya-Yoga school, the Purva Mimamsa school, and even the Bhamati and Vivarana schools of Advaita Vedanta are all advance philosophies in the Hindu tradition.
