1. The Disinterested Witness
A Fragment of Advaita Vedanta Phenomenology
A philosophically rigorous exploration of Advaita Vedanta’s notion of the witness (sakshi), it presents pure, non-agentive consciousness as the pre-reflective ground that illuminates all experience without itself becoming an object. Through phenomenological analysis in dialogue with Western philosophy, it clarifies self-awareness, intentionality, and the subject–object relation while examining error, memory, and the unity of consciousness. The work contends that acknowledging this disinterested witnessing awareness dissolves key epistemic puzzles and carries liberative implications for understanding selfhood and reality.
