In "Social Philosophy: Past and Future," Daya Krishna discusses the socio-centric and ātman-centric perspectives as two fundamental predicaments in Indian social philosophy. The socio-centric perspective emphasizes the importance of societal harmony, collective welfare, and duty to the community. Individuals are seen as embedded within social structures and are expected to prioritize the needs of the group over personal desires. On the other hand, the ātman-centric perspective places greater emphasis on individual autonomy, self-realization, and spiritual liberation. Here, the focus is on the inner self (ātman) and the pursuit of personal enlightenment, often transcending societal norms and obligations. These contrasting perspectives reflect the tension between collective identity and individual autonomy in Indian social thought, shaping diverse philosophical and ethical frameworks throughout history.
