Philosophical Comparative Study Between The Concept Of I (Atma) In Vedanta (Advaita) And I (Jeevan) In Co-Existential Philosophy By A. Nagraj.

Atman, Jeevan, Advaita Vedanta, Co-existential Philosophy, Brahman, Consciousness, Moksha, Madhyasth DarshanAbstract
This research paper undertakes a comparative philosophical inquiry into the concept of ‘I’ as articulated in two distinctive Indian philosophies: Advaita Vedanta and Co-existential Philosophy (Madhyasth Darshan) by A. Nagraj. While Advaita identifies the individual self (Atman) as ultimately non-different from the universal self (Brahman), Co- existential Philosophy describes Jeevan as an independent conscious entity coexisting with the all-pervasive Brahman. The study contrasts their metaphysical foundations, epistemologies, ethical implications, and soteriological goals, highlighting the ontological unity in Vedanta and relational harmony in Co-existential Philosophy.
