A Study of Satkāryavāda with Special Reference to Prakṛti Pariṇāmavāda

By Suraj Kumar Sahoo

This Book examines Indian views of causality such as the doctrine of pre-existence of effect known as (Satk ryav da) and its theory of evolution or modification known as (Pari mav da) with particular focus on the S khya Philosophy. Here I have more focused on the conceptual study of Satk ryav da as a doctrine of causality and the basic question raised in the context of doctrine of causality is - Does the effect pre-exist in its material cause? There are two possibilities with regard to the status of the pre-existence of effect in its cause. If the effect pre-exists in its material cause, the effect is non-different from its cause. And if the effect does not pre-exist in its material cause, the effect is different from its cause. This is the basis for the division of causality into two kinds namely, Satk ryav da and Asatk ryav da."
