My passion remains metaphysics and here I admire Meykandar immensely for it is he who developed Metaphysics as the most inclusive Hermeneutic Science, a feat achieved by no one including Husserl,Heidegger, Gadamer and many others who wanted to bring philosophy as a field of rigorous science.
Meykandar in bringing Metaphysics into Hermeneutic Science, the most inclusive one, has achieved something really fantastic – bring the whole of religious life into the field of science but certainly Hermeneutic Science.
The Sumerian Suruppak laid the foundation by saying:
Nig.nam kalkal-in nig.e me kalkal:
Tamil: nigaznam kalkalyin nikavee mey kalkal: If you study what happens around you will learn great TRUTHS( my translation).
Tamil: nigaznam kalkalyin nikavee mey kalkal: If you study what happens around you will learn great TRUTHS( my translation).
It is this orientation that led Tolkaappiyar to study natural as well as composed speech – language( Vazakku and CeyyuL) to detail out the essences of existence and which later led Meykandar to take the World as a whole a Text to establish Metaphysical Truths.
In doing this Meykandar does not take the Agamas, Vedas and so forth as authoritative.
Metaphysics as the most inclusive Hermeneutic Science does not have authorities except the authority of TRUTH.
