Book excerpt: A chandala, who is a member of the lowest echelon of the Indian caste system, also known as an untouchable, wonders why he was dealt this particular fate. Was it unfair or his own fault? Was it the parents' fault, or was it just the way of the world. In his trek to find out why he ended up in his current unwanted predicament, he experiences kindness from others, anger against himself, lust, greed, loneliness and perhaps, most importantly, forbidden love. He eventually realizes that in the final analyses love triumphs over death, or is it life? Vasile Munteanu earned a B.A. and an M.A. degree in English from Oakland University in Michigan, and a Ph.D. in Philosophy, Interpretation and Culture from State University of New York at Binghamton. He is currently teaching Literature and Philosophy at the College of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas. He is also the author of Godmaker, The Book Of Aloneness and The Book Of Remembrance.

Book Synopsis The Mrichchhakatika of Sudraka by : M. R. Kale
Download or read book The Mrichchhakatika of Sudraka written by M. R. Kale and published by Motilal Banarsidass. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the known dramatic composition of ancient India, the Mrichchhakatika occupies a very high and distinguished position. It is a creation of outstanding brilliance. The Mrichchhatika is a drama in ten Acts based on the story of the love of Charudatta, a prominent but poor inhabitant of Ujjayini, and Vasantasena, an exquisitely beautiful but pure-minded courtesan of the city. By virtue of its high dramatic charm and its great literary excellence it has endeared itself to generations of spectators and readers; the play has been adapted in many Indian vernaculars, and in that modern form still continues to draw admiring crowds. The editor makes this book as comprehensive and useful as possible. To the commentary of Prithvidhara, which is somewhat abrupt and meager in places, he has made considerable additions where he felt them to be necessary for the elucidation of the text. The relation of this play to: Bhasa's Charudatta has been fully discussed in the Introduction. The Prakrit passages, which prove a hindrance to the student, have been printed below the text, and along with the' text, only the Sanskrit renderings are given above; the utility of this contrivance has been established in actual use.
Book Synopsis Nietzsche's Jewish Problem by : Robert C. Holub
Download or read book Nietzsche's Jewish Problem written by Robert C. Holub and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive account of Nietzsche's views of Jews and Judaism For more than a century, Nietzsche's views about Jews and Judaism have been subject to countless polemics. The Nazis infamously fashioned the philosopher as their anti-Semitic precursor, while in the past thirty years the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction. The increasingly popular view today is that Nietzsche was not only completely free of racist tendencies but also was a principled adversary of anti-Jewish thought. Nietzsche’s Jewish Problem offers a definitive reappraisal of the controversy, taking the full historical, intellectual, and biographical context into account. As Robert Holub shows, a careful consideration of all the evidence from Nietzsche’s published and unpublished writings and letters reveals that he harbored anti-Jewish prejudices throughout his life. Nietzsche’s Jewish Problem demonstrates how this is so despite the apparent paradox of the philosopher’s well-documented opposition to the crude political anti-Semitism of the Germany of his day. As Holub explains, Nietzsche’s "anti-anti-Semitism" was motivated more by distaste for vulgar nationalism than by any objection to anti-Jewish prejudice. A richly detailed account of a controversy that goes to the heart of Nietzsche’s reputation and reception, Nietzsche’s Jewish Problem will fascinate anyone interested in philosophy, intellectual history, or the history of anti-Semitism.
Book Synopsis Early Buddhist Society by : Xinru Liu
Download or read book Early Buddhist Society written by Xinru Liu and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What might daily life have been like in India in the time of the Buddha? Who were some of the rulers, monks, philosophers, devotees, and doctors with whom the Buddha would have interacted and had discussions? What was involved in spreading the message of Buddhism and setting up the Buddhist sangha (order)? What were the schisms and factions, and what was the nature of opposition to Buddhism from Brahmin hegemony? A great deal is known about Buddhist tenets and doctrine, but very little exists on the lived context of the Buddha himself. Early Buddhist texts in Pali reveal a society in ways that other texts relating to Buddhism, as well as the Brahmanical literature, do not. Xinru Liu reads this literature, along with the earliest Buddhist artworks on stupas, to argue that the historical Buddha does not really exist in the imagination of most people, including Buddhists. In this book, she sets out to plug this gap in our understanding of Buddhism, illuminating and eliminating many misconceptions along the way. Gender, religion, and caste in early India come alive in this richly scholarly yet accessible and imaginative account of society in the time of the Buddha. This is a book for students, teachers, and everyone interested in the living universe of India 2500 years ago.

Book Synopsis Science of God by : Srinivasan Kannan
Download or read book Science of God written by Srinivasan Kannan and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2014-02-17 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is all about being successful and happy. Many of us have everything and yet find the real happiness missing. We are constantly in pursuit of that joy which has eluded us forever, thus far. When we realize our true nature and origin, it enables our progression towards attaining a happy and fearless state in life. Each one of us is a divine Soul; unborn, unchanging, immutable and eternal; an inseparable potency of that Supreme God, who dwells in us eternally. Though each one of us has the potential to experience a divine existence, being immortals, we have chosen to take birth in this mortal world; taking birth to die and dying to take birth again, in some 8.4 million bodies. There is a mismatch in what is happening to us. We are immortals, but the bodies we acquire in this world are not. We can attain the divine, eternal world of God, if we realize our imperishable relationship with God, who alone can grant us the state we all seek. With that realization, we can transcend causes and effects of this karmic world, overcoming grief and pain. We not only achieve material success, but also live a useful life, for the self, for our families and for the society.

Book Synopsis Tools of Justice by : Kalpana Kannabiran
Download or read book Tools of Justice written by Kalpana Kannabiran and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years since independence, the Indian subcontinent has witnessed an alarming rise in violence against marginalized communities, with an increasing number of groups pushed to the margins of the democratic order. Against this background of violence, injustice and the abuse of rights, this book explores the critical, ‘insurgent’ possibilities of constitutionalism as a means of revitalising the concepts of non-discrimination and liberty, and of reimagining democratic citizenship. The book argues that the breaking down of discrimination in constitutional interpretation and the narrowing of the field of liberty in law deepen discriminatory ideologies and practices. Instead, it offers an intersectional approach to jurisprudence as a means of enabling the law to address the problem of discrimination along multiple, intersecting axes. The argument is developed in the context of the various grounds of discrimination mentioned in the constitution — caste, tribe, religious minorities, women, sexual minorities, and disability. The study draws on a rich body of materials, including official reports, case law and historical records, and uses insights from social theory, anthropology, literary and historical studies and constitutional jurisprudence to offer a new reading of non-discrimination. This book will be useful to those interested in law, sociology, gender studies, politics, constitutionalism, disability studies, human rights, social exclusion, etc.

Download or read book The Essential Works of Friedrich Nietzsche written by Friedrich Nietzsche and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-26 with total page 2244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'The Essential Works of Friedrich Nietzsche', the reader is introduced to the profound philosophical ideas of the renowned German thinker. This collection showcases Nietzsche's critique of traditional morality, his exploration of the concept of the will to power, and his thoughts on the eternal recurrence.

Friedrich Nietzsche, a seminal figure in Western philosophy, was influenced by his own experiences of suffering and challenges to conventional beliefs. His search for meaning in a seemingly chaotic world is evident in his writings, making his works both personal and universal. Nietzsche's provocative ideas continue to spark debates and influence modern thought. 'The Essential Works of Friedrich Nietzsche' is a must-read for anyone interested in delving into the depths of existential philosophy and exploring provocative ideas that challenge conventional wisdom. Nietzsche's writings will leave readers questioning their beliefs and pondering the true nature of existence.
