This paper explores the interplay among axiology, ontology, epistemology, and praxeology as we move beyond foundational frameworks such as Burrell and Morgan’s (1979) sociological paradigms and Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory (2001), addressing their limitations in encompassing the holistic dimensions of consciousness. Our "Catur Drsti" (Four View) model is rooted in Upanisadic teachings, integrating values, practice, being, and knowing. We incorporate “V Theory” (Maheshwari, 2021) into the Catur Drsti model to bridge ancient wisdom with contemporary insights, emphasising transformative consciousness through contemplative processes. This research fosters a cohesive yet pluralistic understanding of human experience by synthesising diverse systems of thought. The Four-View model advocates an axiology-first approach, wherein values steer onto – epistemological inquiries and resulting methodologies. Concluding with practical and philosophical implications, we highlight the importance of integrating diverse epistemologies to address global challenges in a profoundly interconnected world.
