| Abstract | This research paper is focuses on the Buddha as philosopher comparing and contrasting him with Socrates. These two important fi gures could be studied by many points of view. Buddha and Socrates developed their ideas of critical thinking and practiced them, thereby contributing to human development. The way in which Buddha spoke of his teaching is pragmatic, in saying that he teaches only suffering and its elimination. However, a more expansive view is afforded when one views Buddhism as one of the schools of Indian Philosophy. Viewing the panorama of Materialists, Skeptics, Ajivikas, Jains, Fatalists, Takki, and Traditional Brahmins, it becomes evident why in the Sutta Pitaka so much of the Buddha’s effort is directed at stating, clarifying, and refuting these alternative philosophical views. |
