He graduated from there in 1. Philosophy, being one of its most distinguished alumni.[7]Radhakrishnan studied philosophy by chance rather than choice. Being a financially constrained student, when a cousin who graduated from the same college passed on his philosophy textbooks in to Radhakrishnan, it automatically decided his academic course.[8][9]Radhakrishnan wrote his thesis for the M. A. degree on "The Ethics of the Vedanta and its Metaphysical Presuppositions".[1. It "was intended to be a reply to the charge that the Vedanta system had no room for ethics." He was afraid that this M. A. thesis would offend his philosophy professor, Dr. Alfred George Hogg. Instead, Hogg commended Radhakrishnan on having done most excellent work.[citation needed] Radhakrishnan's thesis was published when he was only twenty. According to Radhakrishnan himself, the criticism of Hogg and other Christian teachers of Indian culture "disturbed my faith and shook the traditional props on which I leaned." Radhakrishnan himself describes how, as a student,The challenge of Christian critics impelled me to make a study of Hinduism and find out what is living and what is dead in it. My pride as a Hindu, roused by the enterprise and eloquence of Swami Vivekananda, was deeply hurt by the treatment accorded to Hinduism in missionary institutions. This led him to his critical study of Indian philosophy and religion and a lifelong defence of Hinduism against "uninformed Western criticism". Marriage and family[edit]Radhakrishnan was married to Sivakamu,[note 1] a distant cousin, at the age of 1. As per tradition the marriage was arranged by the family.

His metaphysics was grounded in Advaita Vedanta, but he reinterpreted Advaita Vedanta for a contemporary understanding.[web 2] He acknowledged the reality and diversity of the world of experience, which he saw as grounded in and supported by the absolute or Brahman.[web 2][note 2] Radhakrishnan also reinterpreted Shankara's notion of maya.

His specific interest in experience can be traced back to the works of William James (1. Francis Herbert Bradley (1. Henri Bergson (1. Friedrich von HГјgel (1. Vivekananda, who had a strong influence on Radhakrisnan's thought. According to Radhakrishnan, intuition is of a self- certifying character (svatassiddha), self- evidencing (sv. ДЃsaб№ѓvedya), and self- luminous (svayam- prak. ДЃsa).[web 2] In his book An Idealist View of Life, he made a powerful case for the importance of intuitive thinking as opposed to purely intellectual forms of thought.[web 9] According to Radhakrishnan, intuition plays a specific role in all kinds of experience.[web 2] Radhakrishnan discernes five sorts of experience: [web 2]Cognitive Experience. Sense Experience. Discursive Reasoning. Intuitive Apprehension. Psychic Experience.
