दर्शनशास्त्र का भविष्य

Description

Keynote address "Future of Philosophy", delivered on Philosophy Day, 2010, at the Post-Graduate Department of Philosophy, Patna University.

Surveying the different branches of philosophy -- logic, semantics, epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, social and political philosophy and philosophy of religion -- the author concludes that branches like logic, ethics and social and political philosophy, which deal with concrete and real problems, have a bright future; whereas epistemology and metaphysics, which deal with problems that are no longer relevant, have a dim future.
