چکیده:
Osho believes that man can have access to knowledge and, depending on the subject of human identification he has different tools, such as senses, authority, rationality, inner experience and intuition. What can be understood from his words is that material and natural things are revealed to man through senses and intellect, but it is only through experience and intuition that man can discover the truth and realize the meaning of life and lucidity. Considering Osho’s explanation such an approach is only the effect of his severe criticism of reason, logic and philosophy, on one hand, and, his advocacy of relativism and pluralism which is implied by his words, on the other.

com Received: 14/ 04/ 1398 - Accepted: 09/ 07/ 1398 Abstract Osho believes that humans have the possibility of attaining knowledge, and different tools, depending on the object of human cognition, such as senses, authority, reasoning, internal experience, and intuition, are at their disposal.
What can be derived from his words is that material and natural matters are revealed to humans through sense and reason; however, humans can only reach truth, the meaning of life, and clarity of conscience through the use of experience and intuition.
Osho, like all other humans, uses the tools of sense and experiment to obtain cognition and, among his words, quotes matters that directly and indirectly indicate the acceptance of the senses as one of the valid sources of knowledge and cognition (Osho, 1382, vol.
In his view, intuition possesses high epistemological value, and in many cases, Osho, by setting aside reason, invites observation and the experience of matters so that humans do not want to engage in thinking and reasoning about them (cf: Osho, 1382h, pp.
C) Since Osho, on one hand, criticizes reason and philosophy and, on the other hand, considers individual inner experience as the criterion for reaching truth, relativism and pluralism will be consequences of his epistemological foundations, both of which he explicitly accepts and in many cases calls for considering these matters as true and abandoning dogmatism.
D) The most important criticism of Osho is: in cases where different experiences of a matter exist and all of them are in conflict and contradiction with each other, what is the criterion for correctness and truth?
