Editorial Philosophy
Philosophy must transcend academic boundaries to engage with human, social, and technological realities.
As Chief Editor, Dr. Trivedi envisions the India Independent Philosophical Journal as a platform where classical Indian wisdom dialogues with global thought systems. The editorial ethos emphasizes:
• Rigor, originality, and philosophical depth.• Ethical research and academic transparency.
• Inclusivity—encouraging both established scholars and emerging researchers.
• Interdisciplinary inquiry connecting philosophy with education, AI, consciousness, and sustainability.
Message to Contributors
“जातस्य हि ध्रुवो मृत्युर्ध्रुवं जन्म मृतस्य च ।
तस्मादपरिहार्येऽर्थे न त्वं शोचितुमर्हसि”
“To understand the above verse, I can say Philosophy is not merely an academic exercise—it is a conscious movement to know the truth and reach to liberation. Through this journal, we invite scholars to explore ideas that challenge conventions, illuminate reality, and cultivate wisdom. Let us together build a community of thought that is rooted in Indian traditions yet open to the world.”
