Hardbound. Condition: As New. New. Contents Preface. 1. Introduction the concept of Freedom (Moksa and Nirvana) in Indian thought. 2. Nirvana as Kalpanaksaya (Cessation of Essentialist Thought construction) in the context of Buddhist Anatma. 3. Essentialist Thought Constructions (Kalpana) vis a vis Sunyata as Essencellessness (Nihsvabhavata). 4. Nirvana in early Buddhism and in Prasannapada. 5. Some theoretical and practical implications. 6. Conclusion. Bibliography. Index. The present work is an analytical philosophic enterprise dealing with a specific topic viz. nirvana in Candrakirti's Prasannapada which represents and is a standing testimony to the Buddhist critical philosophy par excellence. A unique revolution in the world of thought has been brought about by Acarya Candrakirti the great Prasangika Madhyamika thinker of 7 century C.E. through his theory of nirvana as sarva/nirvasesa Kalpanaksaya (cessation of essentialist thought constructions/speculative picture thinking) developed in his magnum opus Prasannapada thus giving the idea of nirvana a novel turn viewing it from a fresh perspective. The idea may have had its basis in Mula Madhyama Karika/Madhyamaka Sastra of Nagarjuna the unique philosophical master mind of the world of 2 century C.E. and of course in the enlightenment of the Buddha the credit goes to the author of this volume however for bringing to the fore the genius of Candrakirti in working out the theoretical and practical implications of this idea by a rigorous analysis of the logic of essences (Svabhava) and allied concepts. A critical and comparative study of nirvana of Prasannapada with that of early Buddhism on the one hand and of nirvana with the concept of Vedantic moksa on the other as well as points of comparison and contrast brought out with such pioneers of western thought as Aristotle and Wittgenstein are features of special interest in the volume meant for promoting a greater clarity in understanding. The volume primarily aiming at an understanding of the Buddhist concept of nirvana in its proper perspective through eradication of certain earlier misconceptions highlights for this purpose Candrakirti's unique critical philosophy advocated Candrakirti's unique critical philosophy advocated and worked out so diligently in Prasannapada which is a significant milestone in the development of the Buddhist thought. It is expected to be of interest for all scholars of Indian thought. At the same time it is likely to prove itself to be of value for further intensive research in the field. 108 pp.

Education and social change the early phase (1826 1920). 4. Education political and social change in Assam (1900 30). 5. Assamese literary renaissance responses to tradition and modernity. 6.

Three Assamese novels the exploration of identity and difference. 9. Education and multiculturalism in North East India. Postscript identity crisis in the Brahmaputra Valley. Bibliography. Index. This book provides a comprehensive account of the key issues that revolve around the interaction between culture and education in both the colonial and post colonial period of North Eastern India. In attempting to do so the author manages to produce a scholarly and a critical introduction to the cultural history of North Eastern India providing in the process a theoretical and a critical vocabulary to address as well as make an intervention into the contemporary cultural and political concerns of the region. The historical account generates an intellectual context to examine as well as critically comment on the key historical events and critical interventions in the period between 1826 2000 in North Eastern India the redrawing of boundaries and land systems in the colonial period as well as colonial policies towards education and language the work of the Christian missionaries in creating cultural elites and opening up spaces for different identity formations Assamese literary renaissance in the late nineteenth century the impact of nationalist discourse the policy of education and culture in post colonial North Eastern India shaped by a dominant nation state. Given the context of the political mobilisations of identities which has been the result of the practices and policies pursued during the colonial and post colonial periods the author argues for a system of education which resists both the uniform claims of the nation state as well as the claims of a unified ethnic subject. In this context the author also provides a critique of three very significant novels written in Assamese. These novels are important in that they manage to articulate the material realities and conditions of post colonial society in North Eastern India particularly the voices and assertions of certain marginalised groups. A debate on the economic and political complexities of the problem of immigration into Brahmaputra valley provides the outline of a crisis deeply embedded in the identity conflicts in the region. 262 pp.

Bokil. 19. From biblical eve to biotechnological eve and its conscious relevance/I.S. Dua and Meenakshi Gupta. Reflections on consciousness society and values may take the individual through myriad of theoretical considerations ranging from purely speculative to the concrete and substantially observable. Such reflections are justified from purely phenomenological perspective and/or from empiricistic and quasi scientific standpoint. Whether consciousness as a property of matter as a property of protoplasm as learning as metaphysical presupposition as emergent evolution as property of behaviour or even as a metaphor it keeps finding place in philosophical and non philosophical discussions. The present volume the result of a seminar on Consciousness Society and Values is a representation (of almost a fractal kind) that is available in the larger debate on the theme. The discussions on consciousness do not immediately bring the normative dimension it does surface at the societal level namely as society having norms. But a full and detailed discussion of the normative aspect of consciousness is possible in juxtaposing consciousness and values. This volume attempts to bring to the forefront the normative and interdisciplinary domains of consciousness. The volume presents papers that deal with consciousness as manifested in the conscious experience brain independent or otherwise and methodologically the contributions represent both the analytic and phenomenological approach on the one hand and an attempt to go beyond the exclusive approaches on the other. Scholarly contributions that deal with consciousness as embodied in one's introspection and reflected in social and moral values constitute the next set of papers. Studies that reflect on consciousness as expressed in collective consciousness as well as resonated in the communities and specific groups find a substantial space in the volume. Studies of moral values reflected both in the philosophical and scientific consciousness of mankind both from the Indian as well as western perspective constitute the last set of papers of the present volume. 310 pp.

Situating Pop Bhangra in globalization a note on the globalization thesis/A.K. Sharma. 18. Beyond the boundary globalization of communication of Indian society/Biswajit Das. The fate of languages throughout human history has been predicated upon political power relationships. Globalization is not just an economic phenomenon. It changes power relationships and brings about political and cultural shifts at the global and domestic level and thus has a bearing on linguistic patterns and language hierarchy. As a result of globalization a new ordering is a foot new power alignments are taking place socio cultural reorientations are in evidence and new hegemonies are being created. Globalization has also led to the emergence of new media imperialism and the creation of new world order which is a euphemism for linguistic hegemony and regimentation. One manifestation of the hegemony could be seen in the extensive use of and consequent dominance of English worldwide. In this scenario issues relating to the situation of Indian languages would need to be clarified. 310 pp.

Epilogue naturalism humanism and beyond. Bibliography. Index. The basic presupposition underlying this book is the unity of human knowledge in its very wide sense. Different forms of knowledge and their present day specializations should not make us blind to their thematic and conceptual overlap. Disciplines like religion ethics and law have their unmistakable affinity defined in terms of dos and dont's. Philosophy science and cosmology cannot be sharply demarcated because of their historically shifting boundaries. History sociology and anthropology in view of their ineliminable human roots are bound to remain mutually interactive forever. History has no intrinsic metric or period of its own. It is for pressing practical reasons that disciplines of knowledge have always been undergoing change in very many ways partly theoretical and mainly practical. Cultural space unlike political state knows no boundary. This is evident from the that of we find many religions various ethnic groups and diverse social structures and practices within the bounds of a single state. With the development and dominance of science particularly communication systems all forms of knowledge have been becoming increasingly sharable by peoples living in widely dispersed geographical areas living under different political systems and speaking different languages and dialects. A many sided attempt has been made in this book to indicate that affinity between cultural systems convergence of political structures and similarity between art forms are all due to continuous interaction and intermixture between the human groups living on the globe. Through the windows and doors of different forms of religion philosophy and science we can perceive a growingly clear global view of the mankind as a whole. Relying on the findings of diverse disciplines literary religious philosophical and scientific D.P. Chattopadhyaya has offered a sketch of a veritable global view. Rarely has an interdisciplinary thinker and writer ever tried to present the essences of so many disciplines within such a limited scope. To the reader it will be clear that the author of this book has been guided besides the published books and the available oral traditions by his own reflections on and insights into the same. 253 pp.

Hardcover. Condition: New. This volumes revisits comparative aesthetics by taking a broad view of aesthetic concerns across disciplines like art history, literary studies, philosophy and linguistic bringing forth the questions of class, caste and religions too. Questions of translation and methodological concerns to update aesthetics in contemporary times are at the forefront. The contributor revisits Indian aesthetics and aesthetics of politics. It also addresses the intercultural framework of comparative aesthetics that juxtaposes larger cultural entities like the Indian, the Chinese and the western around some key terms of aesthetics like originality , creativity , beauty, mime sis and resonance. while it highlights the methodological challenges that comparative aesthetic faces in the wake of globalization that has thrown up new discipline of study, it also signals certain unevenness that exists in the field. while dealing with new interpretative lenses to understand terminology of aesthetics, it also draw attention to new primary texts that were less explored or were there in fragments and therefore overlooked . Finally, it attempts to update comparative aesthetic through new interdisciplinary conversations that throw light on crucial aspects of Indian aesthetics today.

A cruise through the 334 page Tripunithura Grandhavari reveals that the medieval Tripunithura temple was a gigantic institution embracing a wide range of spiritual and mundane matters and thus was sine quo non to all, whether theists or atheists. It had a patriarchal role as a rich land lord, employer consumer, organizer of entertainments, patron of ancient scriptures, and also as custodian of the traditional system of law and economy, besides providing spiritual solace to the people. In order to integrate its multifarious activities it coordinated the service of various caste groups thereby creating a sense of mutual dependency and hierarchy among them.
