Dr B R Ambedkar’s Social Philosophy and Humanism

Abstract

This paper attempts to analyze some of the important issues of humanism and social philosophy raised by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar. The study of philosophy, as a world outlook, includes the entire existence, the being in its totality. There are two main areas of philosophy: epistemology and metaphysics. "Epistemology is the theory of knowledge. An important province of philosophical theory, the doctrine on man’s ability to cognize reality, on the sources, forms, and methods of the truth and ways of attaining it". Metaphysics studies the highest principles of all that exists, which are inaccessible to the senses. Comprehensible only to speculative reason and indispensable to all sciences.
