Passage

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions which follow.

One of the philosophic problems that Nagarjuna raised for epistemology has to do with an alleged regress of justification on the assumption that a pramana is required in order to know and that to identify the source of a bit of knowledge is to certify the proposition embedded. Nagarjuna claims that this is absurd in that it would require an infinite series of pramana, of identification of a more fundamental pramana for every pramana, relied on. Mimamsa and Vedanta philosophers argue that such a threat of regress shows that knowledge is self-certifying, svatah pramanya. Vedantins connect the Upanishadic teaching of a truest or deepest self (atman) as having self-illumining awareness (sva-prakasa) with a Mimamsa epistemological theory of self-certification: at least in the case of spiritual knowledge (Vidya) awareness is self-aware From this it follows that only awareness is right concerning ail questions about awareness, since only awareness itself has, so to say, access to itself. Awareness itself is the only consideration relevant to any question about awareness itself, its existence or its nature.
