Book Synopsis Nagarjuna and the Art of Negation by : Mathew Varghese
Download or read book Nagarjuna and the Art of Negation written by Mathew Varghese and published by Sanctum Books. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading the philosophy of Nagarjuna in retrospective, his method of Nagarjuna is variously explained in this book. How the application of tetralemma-four-value structure (catuskoti) would give us enough resources to expand our thoughts and how that could help us negate the binary either/or structure of thought that demands theoretical postulations. Notably, the art of logical negation used by Nagarjuna employing neither/nor structure would help us understand the Middle Path (Madhyamika) philosophy clearly. Most of the philosophies use the structure of two-value logical interpretations to introduce their metaphysics and ethics. Metaphysical conception of soul-God is the basis of virtue ethics centred on transcendentals of goodness, truth, beauty, unity, justice, being, etc. of the classical Greeks, later being followed by Christians, Jews and Islamic thinkers. The conception of atman-Brahman is the foundation of Vedic philosophers' understanding of transcendentals as truth (sat), consciousness (cit) and bliss (ananada), Nagarjuna, on the other hand, employs negative dialectics to confute the logical structure of either/or that demands metaphysical concepts; and by employing the four-value logical structure, he introduces the transcendentals as wisdom and compassion. This book uses Nagarjunian art of negation to reread his philosophy differently to discern the concept of emptiness (sunyata) as the co-dependent evolution of various elements of the subjective self and the elements of objective experiences in the dominion of the subjective self and the elements of objective experiences in the dominion of the subjective self; therein it is possible to redefine no-soul (nairatmya) as self-being, and "dominion of subjectivity" for replacing a metaphysical postulation; and the transcendentals as wisdom and compassion.
Book Synopsis Sentiment Analysis of Music using Statistics and Machine Learning by : Aakash Mukherjee
Download or read book Sentiment Analysis of Music using Statistics and Machine Learning written by Aakash Mukherjee and published by Sanctum Books. This book was released on 2022-10-16 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sentiment analysis and prediction of contemporary Music can have a wide range of applications in modern society, for instance, selecting music for public institutions such as hospitals or restaurants to potentially improve the emotional well-being of personnel, patients, and customers respectively. In this project, a music recommendation system is built upon a Naive Bayes Classifier trained to predict the sentiment of songs based on song lyrics alone. Online streaming platforms have become one of the most important forms of music consumption. Most streaming platforms provide tools to assess the popularity of a song in the forms of scores and rankings. In this book, we address two issues related to song popularity. First, we predict whether an already popular song may attract higher-than-average public interest and become viral. Second, we predict whether sudden spikes in the public interest will translate into long-term popularity growth. We base our findings on data from the streaming platform Billboard, Spotify, and consider appearances in its "Most-Popular" list as indicative of popularity, and appearances in its "Virals" list as indicative of interest growth. We approach the problem as a classification task and employ a Support Vector Machine model built on popularity information to predict interest, and vice versa.

Book Synopsis Statistical Analysis of Folk Songs of Jharkhand by : Shivani Tiwari
Download or read book Statistical Analysis of Folk Songs of Jharkhand written by Shivani Tiwari and published by Sanctum Books. This book was released on 2022-10-16 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Folk songs play a very significant role in Indian classical music as the root of Indian classical music is the Indian folk music itself. Different states have different folk songs. This work deals with the statistical analysis of the folk songs of Jharkhand. Each song's analysis concerns with verifying whether the probabilities of notes in the song are fixed throughout the song or are the note probabilities varying. This tells us whether the probability distribution followed by the notes is multinomial or quasi multinomial respectively. Statistical parameterization method is used to quantify melody and rhythm. The presence of rhythm and melody is also analyzed by the Inter Onset Interval (IOI) and note duration graphs. The book should be found useful by music researchers and students of music and musicology, ethnomusicologists and music enthusiasts.

Book Synopsis Nagarjuna's Madhyamaka by : Jan Westerhoff
Download or read book Nagarjuna's Madhyamaka written by Jan Westerhoff and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-02-23 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian philosopher Acharya Nagarjuna (c. 150-250 CE) was the founder of the Madhyamaka (Middle Path) school of Mahayana Buddhism and arguably the most influential Buddhist thinker after Buddha himself. Indeed, in the Tibetan and East Asian traditions, Nagarjuna is often referred to as the "second Buddha." His primary contribution to Buddhist thought lies is in the further development of the concept of sunyata or "emptiness." For Nagarjuna, all phenomena are without any svabhaba, literally "own-nature" or "self-nature," and thus without any underlying essence. In this book, Jan Westerhoff offers a systematic account of Nagarjuna's philosophical position. He reads Nagarjuna in his own philosophical context, but he does not hesitate to show that the issues of Indian and Tibetan Buddhist philosophy have at least family resemblances to issues in European philosophy.

Book Synopsis Nagarjuna's Middle Way by : Mark Siderits
Download or read book Nagarjuna's Middle Way written by Mark Siderits and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2014 Khyenste Foundation Translation Prize. Nagarjuna's renowned twenty-seven-chapter Fundamental Verses on the Middle Way (Mulamadhyamakakarika) is the foundational text of the Madhyamaka school of Mahayana Buddhist philosophy. It is the definitive, touchstone presentation of the doctrine of emptiness. Professors Siderits and Katsura prepared this translation using the four surviving Indian commentaries in an attempt to reconstruct an interpretation of its enigmatic verses that adheres as closely as possible to that of its earliest proponents. Each verse is accompanied by concise, lively exposition by the authors conveying the explanations of the Indian commentators. The result is a translation that balances the demands for fidelity and accessibility.
Book Synopsis Tsong-kha-pa's Final Exposition of Wisdom by : Jeffrey Hopkins
Download or read book Tsong-kha-pa's Final Exposition of Wisdom written by Jeffrey Hopkins and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In fourteenth- and fifteenth-century Tibet there was great ferment about what makes enlightenment possible, since systems of self-liberation must show what factors pre-exist in the mind that allow for transformation into a state of freedom from suffering. This controversy about the nature of mind, which persists to the present day, raises many questions. This book first presents the final exposition of special insight by Tsong-kha-pa, the founder of the Ge-luk-pa order of Tibetan Buddhism, in his medium-length Exposition of the Stages of the Path as well as the sections on the object of negation and on the two truths in his Illumination of the Thought: Extensive Explanation of Chandrakirti's Supplement to Nagarjuna's "Treatise on the Middle." It then details the views of his predecessor Dol-po-pa Shay-rap Gyel-tsen, the seminal author of philosophical treatises of the Jo-nang-pa order, as found in his Mountain Doctrine, followed by an analysis of Tsong-kha-pa's reactions. By contrasting the two systems—Dol-po-pa's doctrine of other-emptiness and Tsong-kha-pa's doctrine of self-emptiness—both views emerge more clearly, contributing to a fuller picture of reality as viewed in Tibetan Buddhism. Tsong-kha-pa's Final Exposition of Wisdom brilliantly explicates ignorance and wisdom, explains the relationship between dependent-arising and emptiness, shows how to meditate on emptiness, and explains what it means to view phenomena as like illusions.

Download or read book Ocean of Reasoning written by Tsong khapa and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-04-20 with total page 958 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tsong kha pa (14th-century) is arguably the most important and influential philosopher in Tibetan history. An Ocean of Reasoning is the most extensive and perhaps the deepest extant commentary on Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarika (Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way), and it can be argued that it is impossible to discuss Nagarjuna's work in an informed way without consulting it. It discusses alternative readings of the text and prior commentaries and provides a detailed exegesis, constituting a systematic presentation of Madhyamaka Buddhist philosophy. Despite its central importance, however, of Tsong kha pa's three most important texts, only An Ocean of Reasoning remains untranslated, perhaps because it is both philosophically and linguistically challenging, demanding a rare combination of abilities on the part of a translator. Jay Garfield and Ngawang Samten bring the requisite skills to this difficult task, combining between them expertise in Western and Indian philosophy, and fluency in Tibetan, Sanskrit, and English. The resulting translation of this important text will not only be a landmark contribution to the scholarship of Indian and Tibetan Buddhism, but will serve as a valuable companion volume to Jay Garfield's highly successful translation of The Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way.

Book Synopsis Shadow of Spirit by : Philippa Berry
Download or read book Shadow of Spirit written by Philippa Berry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-04-27 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By illuminating the striking affinity between the most innovative aspects of postmodern thought and religious mystical discourse, Shadow of Spirit challenges the long established assumption that western thought is committed to nihilism. This collection of essays by internationally recognised scholars explores the implications of the fascination with the `sacred', `divine' or `infinite' which characterizes much contemporary thought. It shows how these concerns have surfaced in the work of Derrida, Baudrillard, Lyotard, Kristeva, Irigaray and others. Examining the connection between this postmodern `turn' and the current search for a new discourse of ethics and politics, it also stresses the contribution made by feminist thought to this unexpected intellectual direction.

Book Synopsis Silence in Philosophy, Literature, and Art by : Steven Bindeman
Download or read book Silence in Philosophy, Literature, and Art written by Steven Bindeman and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-08-28 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silence exists at the edge of the world, where words break off and meaning fades into ambiguity. The numerous treatments of silence in Steven L. Bindeman’s Silence in Philosophy, Literature, and Art question the misleading clarity of certainty, which persists in the unreflective discourse of common experience. Significant philosophical problems, such as the limits of language, the perception of sound and the construction of meaning, the dynamics of the social realm, and the nature of the human self, all appear differently as a consequence of this questioning. Silence is shown to have two modes, disruptive and healing, which work together as complementary stages within a creative process. The interaction between these two modes of silence serves as the dynamic behind the entire work.
