Srishti-drishti-vada (Sanskrit: सृष्टिदृष्टिवाद; sṛīṣṭīdṛīṣṭivāda) or 'the doctrine of perception through creation', is the opponent school of drishti-srishti-vada. It affirms the world as the primary reality on which perception is dependent.[1] In short, if there were no real world, there would not be any perception of it either. It is regarded as the "common sense view of things".[2]
Srishti means "creation", drishti means "vision" or "perception" and vada means "philosophy" or "argument". Thus srishti-drishti-vada is the view that creation precedes perception; drishti-srishti-vada is the view that perception precedes creation.
