In Hinduism
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
Source: archive.org: A History of Indian Philosophy (vedanta)Avidyamāna (अविद्यमान) refers to “that which is non-existent”.—[Question: If the world-appearance has no essence of its own, how is it that it appears to have one, or how is it that the world-phenomena appear at all?]—To such a question Nāgārjuna’s answer is that the appearance of the world is like the appearance of mirages or dreams, which have no reality of their own, but still present an objective appearance of reality. The world is not a mere nothing, like a lotus of the sky or the hare’s horn, which are simply non-existent (avidyamāna). Thus there is not only the ultimate truth (pavamārtha [paramārtha?]) ; there is also the relative truth of the phenomenal world (lokasaṃvṛti-satya); there are, further, the sense-illusions, hallucinations and the like which are. contradicted in ordinary experience (aloka-saṃvṛta or mithyā-saṃvṛta), and also that which is merely non-existent, like the hare’s horn.
Vedanta (वेदान्त, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
