Philosophy of K.C. Bhattacharya is labelled as :

  • A.Absolute Idealism
  • B.Transcendental Idealism
  • C.Logical Idealism
  • D.Pure Idealism

Answer: B

The official key labels K.C. Bhattacharya's philosophy Transcendental Idealism. I could not find a source that uses this exact label, so it is the key's reading.

Krishna Chandra Bhattacharya (1875-1949) built his thought on the subject, which he held to be free of every object. His best-known essays, Subject as Freedom and The Concept of Philosophy, draw on Kant and on Vedanta, and he moves by stages through what the mind can know toward an Absolute. Kant's own system is the transcendental idealism, which is why the label is used for a thinker who takes the knowing subject, not the object, as the starting point.

Options C and D (Logical and Pure Idealism) are not names attached to him. Option A (Absolute Idealism) is the usual label for Hegelian or Bradleian systems; he does write of the Absolute, so it could be argued, but the key prefers the Kantian label. Because accounts describe him in several ways, the key is kept as printed.
