Sri har a, khandanakhandakhadya january 11 th-15th 2016 (complete) Vast hindu thought; hard to sum up because they are very vast traditions. Different sub-schools are going to disagree deeply with representatives from other sub-schools. Independent truth; all truths of nature were knowable. Sri harsa opposed (not touching upon in class). At first, the translator explains it as right cognition. A mental episode that is informational or cognitional. Proper definition, best informational state you can be in, with respect to a fact. Valid knowledge (fantl takes out valid, as it is counter intuitive); Fantl writing a number on the back of a piece of paper, we (students) guess the number, then he shows us the number. After he shows us the number we are in the best possible position in respect to the number. Acutance with an individual or a thing. I could tell you all the facts about jason, but you would not know jason because you haven"t met him.
