How should i prepare for JNUEE for MA.Philosophy? and which books are best to refer?

priyaankasarkar Student Expert 22nd Nov, 2019

Saurav, because the exam is based on what you learnt during your BA, you are expected to be familiar with the concepts of Standard Philosophy Course taught in BA. You need to have good grasp on topics like MetaPhysics/Oncology, Epistemology and Logic, Ethics, Social and Political Philosophy.

MetaPhysics/Oncology: Being and Becoming; Appearance and Reality; Abhva; Substance; Theories of Consciousness; Self, Non-Self, and Other; Brahman, tman and Jagat; Personal Identity; Freewill and Determinism; Causation; Potentiality and Actuality; Time and Space; Existence of God.

Epistemology and Logic: Different Theories, of Knowledge; Pramnas and Pramnyavda; Theories of Error; Truth and Meaning; JTB and Gettier's Problem; Certainty, Fallibility and Scepticism; Laws of Thought; Classification of Proposition; Categorical Syllogism; Truth Tables; Formal Proofs of Validity; Venn Diagram; Quantification.

Ethics, Social and Political Philosophy: Purushrthas; Rta, Rna and Yagya; Goodness; Justice and Virtues; End and Means; Duty and Obligation; Ethical Theories (Normative and Metaethics); Themes of Applied Ethics; 'Non-violence; Marginalization and Discrimination; Secularism; Liberty, Equality and Rights; Nationalism; Globalization.

what is philosophy the meaning of philosohy

ADITYA KUMAR Student Expert 28th Sep, 2019
Hello there!

Greetings!

The study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline. It is a theory or attitude that acts as a guiding principle for behaviour. Philosophy is a way of thinking about the world, the universe, and society. It works by asking verybasic questions about the nature of human thought, the nature of the universe, and the connections between them. The ideas inphilosophy are often general and abstract.
Thankyou

The story of philosophy {book} in amazon rs.5045, but in flipkart rs is 248. these are same books are not, which book i prefer and why this is too difference in prices ? pls Bro/sis/ mam explain it briefly ?

Sonali Sahu Student Expert 12th Sep, 2019

Hello,

It depends upon the brand as they have their different infrastructure ,expense ,revenue ,import/export cost. There are many factors that matters.

In addition to it, Flipkart is india based company and amazon is International company.

Flipkart is having moderate and low prices but the quality of product may vary. For that you have to check the reviews.

This goes same with amazon. But prices are high which also matter how the company collects the produuct. It may be costing low for flipkart but costing high for amazon. As it distributes things globe-wide.

Hope it helps!

Ananya 7th Aug, 2019
No it's not compulsory to study Philosophy in 10+2 in order to pursue a bachelor's degree in it, there might be some percentage deduction in a few colleges but minor. Otherwise, if you have cleared 10+2 you are very much eligible to pursue BA Philosophy Honours.
