That is why the modern psychiatric matters had been given in this book. The matters of psychology have also been attached inside so that to understand the mind. The 'nature of the mind' can be comprehended from different angles of Philosophy, Psychology and Spirituality. To distinguish the Philosophy of Mind from the empirical psychology, one has to go through the 'events of mind' or 'mental phenomena'. The matter of Psychology is to investigate the 'nature of mental phenomena', to develop theories of what these phenomena are and the principles that govern their operations. Experimental methods are also employed to fulfill the enquiry of Psychology. Where the Philosophy of the mind is to analyze and clarify the theoretical concepts of mind and also those methods that executed by the science of Psychology. The phenomena of the mind can be better proved by psychological methods, because a Psychologist can explore the mental phenomena by empirical means that are actually working in creature's mind, where the Philosophist determines the "concept of Mental Phenomena."
Book Synopsis The Educational Heritage of Ancient India by : Sahana Singh
Download or read book The Educational Heritage of Ancient India written by Sahana Singh and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2017-08-03 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just a thousand years ago, India was dotted with universities across its length and breadth, where international students flocked to gain credentials in advanced education. This illustrated book describes how these multi-disciplinary centers of learning existed in several forms such as forest universities, brick-and-mortar universities and temple universities. It examines the funding for these citadels of learning and their graduation ceremonies. The process by which India’s ancient systems of education helped to fuel a knowledge revolution around the world with its manuscripts, forming the basis for monographs and academic papers, is explained with references. The marauding incursions by Muslim invaders, which disrupted the idyllic world of university learning in India, followed by European colonization, which led to further erosion and degeneration of India’s traditional learning systems, have been taken up in some detail. Readers will get a snapshot view of India's education system down the ages from ancient to modern times.

Book Synopsis Seven Experiments That Could Change the World by : Rupert Sheldrake
Download or read book Seven Experiments That Could Change the World written by Rupert Sheldrake and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2002-07-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the realities of unexplained natural phenomenon and provides explanations that push the boundaries of science. • Looks at animal telepathy and the ability of pigeons to home. • Proves the point that "big questions don't need big science". • Noted scientist Rupert Sheldrake is a former research fellow of the Royal Society. • New Edition with an Update on Results. How does your pet "know" when you are coming home? How do pigeons "home"? Can people really feel a "phantom" amputated arm? These questions and more form the basis of Sheldrake's look at the world of contemporary science as he puts some of the most cherished assumptions of established science to the test. What Sheldrake discovers is that certain scientific beliefs are so widely taken for granted that they are no longer regarded as theories but are seen as scientific common sense. In the true spirit of science, Sheldrake examines seven of these beliefs. Refusing to let intellectual dogmatism influence his search for the truth, Sheldrake presents simple experiments that allow the curious and the skeptical to join in his journey of discovery. His experiments look at how scientific research is often biased against unexpected patterns that emerge and how a researcher's expectations can influence the results. He also examines the taboo of taking pets seriously and explores the question of human extrasensory perception. Perhaps most important, he questions the notion that science must be expensive in order to achieve important results, showing that inexpensive methods can indeed shake the very foundations of science as we know it. In this compelling and intelligent book, Sheldrake offers no preconceived wisdom or easy answers--just an open invitation to explore the unknown, create new science, and perhaps, even change the world.

Book Synopsis Paesi-kahāṇayaṃ, Sanskrit by : Willem B. Bollée
Download or read book Paesi-kahāṇayaṃ, Sanskrit written by Willem B. Bollée and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2002 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the materialist prince Paesi is the only larger legend common to Jain and Buddhist (Payasi in the Digha-nikaya) canonical literature and a rare sample of a lively dialogue. Its subject, the corporeality of the soul, is denied by the Jains. In contrast the Buddhists consider the "I" a facon de parler for practical reasons. Modern brain research tends in favour of the Buddhist view of the ego as being impermanent and therefore an illusion created by the brain. The problem in this dialogue of Paesi with a Jain monk, which is set in the axial age of reflexion on and discussion of the soul (6th century BCE), but in its present literary form dates some centuries later, has therefore in two millennia not lost its actuality. Differently from the Buddhist version the story of Paesi ends tragically; after his conversion the prince is murdered by his wife. The single arguments in the discussion show many ancient Indian realia (birth ritual, diseases, etiquette, ethnic list of female servants, execution of thieves, regicide, 72 professions, similes etc.) which have been commented upon in the notes.

Sanderson Despite yoga's huge global popularity, relatively little of its roots is known among practitioners.

Covering yoga's varying definitions, its most important practices, such as posture, breath control, sensory withdrawal and meditation, as well as models of the esoteric and physical bodies, Roots of Yoga is a unique and essential source of knowledge. Translated and Edited with an Introduction by James Mallinson and Mark Singleton
Book Synopsis Castes of Mind by : Nicholas B. Dirks
Download or read book Castes of Mind written by Nicholas B. Dirks and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-09 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When thinking of India, it is hard not to think of caste. In academic and common parlance alike, caste has become a central symbol for India, marking it as fundamentally different from other places while expressing its essence. Nicholas Dirks argues that caste is, in fact, neither an unchanged survival of ancient India nor a single system that reflects a core cultural value. Rather than a basic expression of Indian tradition, caste is a modern phenomenon--the product of a concrete historical encounter between India and British colonial rule. Dirks does not contend that caste was invented by the British. But under British domination caste did become a single term capable of naming and above all subsuming India's diverse forms of social identity and organization. Dirks traces the career of caste from the medieval kingdoms of southern India to the textual traces of early colonial archives; from the commentaries of an eighteenth-century Jesuit to the enumerative obsessions of the late-nineteenth-century census; from the ethnographic writings of colonial administrators to those of twentieth-century Indian scholars seeking to rescue ethnography from its colonial legacy. The book also surveys the rise of caste politics in the twentieth century, focusing in particular on the emergence of caste-based movements that have threatened nationalist consensus. Castes of Mind is an ambitious book, written by an accomplished scholar with a rare mastery of centuries of Indian history and anthropology. It uses the idea of caste as the basis for a magisterial history of modern India. And in making a powerful case that the colonial past continues to haunt the Indian present, it makes an important contribution to current postcolonial theory and scholarship on contemporary Indian politics.

Book Synopsis In Search of the Cradle of Civilization by : Georg Feuerstein
Download or read book In Search of the Cradle of Civilization written by Georg Feuerstein and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publishing House. This book was released on 2005 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this pathbreaking book, the authors show that the ancient Indians were no primitives but possessed a high spiritual culture, which not only influenced the evolution of the Western world in decisive ways but which still hs much to teach us today. India's archaic spirituality is codified in the rich symbols, metaphors and myths of the magnificent Rig-Veda, which is shown to be much older than has been widely assumed by scholars. The present book also unravels the astonishing mathematical and astronomical code hidden in the Vedic hymns. Anyone interested in ancient cultural history, India, archaeo-astronomy or spirituality will find this well researched and cross-cultural work spellbinding and enriching.
Book Synopsis Studies in the Ancient Indian Inscriptions by : Chandra Neel
Download or read book Studies in the Ancient Indian Inscriptions written by Chandra Neel and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-02-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A universally accepted fact is that no literature of the proper recorded historical nature throwing light on the events that materialized in Ancient India is available to us with an exception of a few. The reason is that the authors, who produced a vast Ancient Indian literature available to us today, were actually not the historical writers or the historians; instead, they were the philosophers, sages, seers, thinkers, ascetics, hermits and saints, who shared and propagated their experiences and knowledge among the common mass about the secrets of life, which they earned themselves via researches conducted through leading a disciplined and pious life, austerity and hard penance. The literature in this part of the world in ancient times was, thus, created with the social and religious frame of mind for the benefit of mankind as a whole. The study of inscriptions, therefore, becomes mandatory as far as knowing the history of Ancient India is concerned, as the genuine inscriptions form the most authentic source for almost correct reconstruction of the past events. This book reevaluates the pioneering and untiring efforts put in by the epigraphists, especially the European and Indian scholars, during the last couple of centuries to decipher the contents of the epigraphic records scattered all over the country and, thus, unveil the historical events that occurred during the first three centuries of the Common Era.
Book Synopsis Universe and Inner Self in Early Indian and Early Greek Thought by : Seaford Richard Seaford
Download or read book Universe and Inner Self in Early Indian and Early Greek Thought written by Seaford Richard Seaford and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-11 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the sixth century BCE onwards there occurred a revolution in thought, with novel ideas such as such as that understanding the inner self is both vital for human well-being and central to understanding the universe. This intellectual transformation is sometimes called the beginning of philosophy. And it occurred - independently it seems - in both India and Greece, but not in the vast Persian Empire that divided them. How was this possible? This is a puzzle that has never been solved. This volume brings together Hellenists and Indologists representing a variety of perspectives on the similarities and differences between the two cultures, and on how to explain them. It offers a collaborative contribution to the burgeoning interest in the Axial Age and will be of interest to anyone intrigued by the big questions inspired by the ancient world.
Book Synopsis No Aging in India by : Lawrence Cohen
Download or read book No Aging in India written by Lawrence Cohen and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1998-07-30 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the opening sequence, in which mid-nineteenth-century Indian fishermen hear the possibility of redemption in an old woman's madness, No Aging in India captures the reader with its interplay of story and analysis. Drawing on more than a decade of ethnographic work, Lawrence Cohen links a detailed investigation of mind and body in old age in four neighborhoods of the Indian city of Varanasi (Banaras) with events and processes around India and around the world. This compelling exploration of senility—encompassing not only the aging body but also larger cultural anxieties—combines insights from medical anthropology, psychoanalysis, and postcolonial studies. Bridging literary genres as well as geographic spaces, Cohen responds to what he sees as the impoverishment of both North American and Indian gerontologies—the one mired in ambivalence toward demented old bodies, the other insistent on a dubious morality tale of modern families breaking up and abandoning their elderly. He shifts our attention irresistibly toward how old age comes to matter in the constitution of societies and their narratives of identity and history.
