It is my intense desire that students should be able to say these things when they
are learning with me: I am ready for whatever the world throws at me- today or
tomorrow.

Now questions, though, still simple but they demand high conceptual clarity . Focus is on “Why &
How ? " but not on simply “What?" e.g.
1. Why Descartes establishes Cogito?
- students simply write what is cogito & just elaborate his method of doubt
2. Why Vaishesika accepts Abhava as category?
- you write what is abhava , its types, etc. Again candidates miss the main demand of
question i.e “WHY”
3.
“Spinoza
4.
Does Kant ends in epistemological skepticism?
overemphasis
on
oneness
at
the
cost
of
manyness"
