DR. S. RADHAKRISHNAN'S AND HIS PERCEPTION OF HUMANISM

Dr. M. Neethi Perumal

Abstract :

Dr. S. Radhakrishnan’s basic philosophical position is a kind of synthesis of advaita vedanta and the philosophy of absolute idealism. He takes up the monistic character of the Vedanta reality and combines it with some of the important aspects of absolute idealism. Like a Vedanta he believes that the reality is one, like an absolute idealist he shows that everything is a necessary aspect of one. He is not only idealist. He was a great Humanist and Universalist. His Philosophy describes spiritualistic Humanism. Humanism assumes that man is by nature good and that evil rests in society, in the conditions which surround man, and if these are removed, man’s goodness will emerge and progress will be achieved. As against religion, humanism argues that this world is our chief interest and perfection of humanity is our ideal. Radhakrishnan argues that there is no conflict between religion and humanism because the inner feeling of the relation between God and man is bound to issue in the service of humanity. Radhakrishnan argues that there is no conflict between religion and humanism because the inner feeling of the relation between God and man is bound to issue in the service of humanity. While what matters is works of religious life, its social productivity, the most efficient servants of society are those who cultivate the interior life.
