The Mission of Philosophy
The Mission of Philosophy, first published in 1960, is an anthology of seven insightful essays on Indian philosophy by Prof. M. Hiriyanna. He explains the mission of philosophy, which focuses on getting rid of ignorance and developing a vision of one's true Self. He links philosophy neither to religion nor science, but instead, to common sense. In his view, philosophy visualizes the ideal and then offers the tools to attain it. Prof. Hiriyanna explains how the highest goal is to attain freedom even while being alive, the coveted state of jivanmukti. The strenuous discipline undertaken by the seeker becomes a part of the everyday conduct of the enlightened.
The Quest After Perfection
The Quest After Perfection, first published in 1952, is a collection of eight remarkable essays on Indian philosophy by Prof. M. Hiriyanna. The learned professor discusses at great length the topic of values, a subject that has received much attention the world over. In his own words, "Indian philosophy is essentially a philosophy of values." With great clarity, he cogitates upon Truth, Goodness, and Beauty-often called the 'eternal values' in the Western tradition. He also expounds the traditional Indian idea of the purusharthas, or the goals of human life-dharma (sustainability), artha (wealth), kama (desire), moksha (release)-by sharing thoughtful insights on them.
Popular Essays in Indian Philosophy
Popular Essays in Indian Philosophy, first published in 1952, is an anthology of seventeen philosophical essays by Prof. M. Hiriyanna. These varied essays cover multiple aspects of Indian philosophy-aims, values, ethics, metaphysics, worldview-and gives a panoramic view of the brilliance and sublimity of thought in ancient India as well as the diversity of opinions and the general ecosystem of openness to new ideas. Prof. Hiriyanna shows how the philosophers of India sought constant verification of their theories in practice. They believed that merely knowing something intellectually did not amount to true knowledge; to know was to become, and nothing less would suffice.
Art Experience
Art Experience, first published in 1954, is a collection of fifteen remarkable essays on Indian art and aesthetics by Prof. M. Hiriyanna. In about a hundred pages, the learned professor gives the readers the quintessence of two thousand years of study and development of aesthetics in India. In his essays, Hiriyanna focusses on the core concepts of Indian Aesthetics - rasa, dhvani, aucitya, and vakrokti - and not on peripheral issues. He argues that art must not be preachy but should never ignore dharma. Relying primarily on experience, he shows how the Indian approach to aesthetics, which is not divorced from philosophy, has universal relevance.
