Overview

Indian philosophical thought has centred around various themes including epistemological, metaphysical, linguistic, ethical and ontological concerns. Discussions on knowledge and its sources, nature and existence of God, ethical values, causation, liberation, reality, and creation can easily be found. The doctrine of karma has also been an integral feature of classical Indian thought. But as far as the problem of freedom of the agent is concerned as well as the conception of agent's relation to the theory of karma, one does not find a comprehensive and detailed discussion done. Often scholars have raised their concerns with regard to this problem but to the best of my knowledge no constructive elaborate studies have been produced. At the most fragmented discussions pertaining to this problem do exist. It may have been felt by scholars that the classical period in Indian philosophy was majorly concerned with the ways in which a person could transcend the cycle of birth and death to attain eternal bliss or realise God and so much could be found on 'freedom from' and not so much on 'freedom to'.
