MODERNITY AND MODERNISATION

I don't write unless subdued and liberated by creative urge. There are plenty of facts to share but none to believe. Facts are not after all independent in its existence. They're the born babies of human artefacts,  mostly created for the sake of some pressing urgency, sometimes elevated in godly fashion, most of the time fascinated with Methodism and structural biasness of Modernism. Modernism has not yet been achieved though modernisation as a process has established many a factories of facts. The proud scientism has obsessed many a social scientists to create the truth of his choice with the selection-non-selection method. This world is not so black and white; the grey colour could be emboldened to suit what is desirable. Knowledge is afterall not what we know, but what is desirable! Facts are the units around which the life of a knowledge system is worshiped, beyond which you're susceptible to blasphemy. The quest for repitive laws are too ugly to feel what is truly unique and beautiful about a fall of leaf to the ground; what is really special about Universe who has no single theory of everything? There is no single perceptible law in Universe which may be credited to our existence. The core of life experience lies in our perceptible dynamix; if we could leap beyond the 'Platonic Cave' to see and feel a different Sun which was already there. Life is not about knowing or lavishly earning for generations; it's about courage to explore what we're and what we're not! Unless we're denying formalism in our lives can we expect freedoms in meaningful ways? Life may start with 'being', but it's important what it 'becomes'. Liberation is not a modernity project; it's about 'control' and 'repression', to refer Sigmund Freud. The Civilizational Discontents could be redressed in meaningful ways through conscious citizenry. Institutional excellence which appears in Rawlsian Constitutional scheme is no readymade guarantee of Justice and Freedom. Shackles are hidden in our reluctance to practice the creative urge. We're the source of our own happiness; and it doesn't come with materialist urge; it naturally belongs to our creative urge!

Human's Rationality: Its Unfree-Freedoms

Cosmic energy is moving into various forms and patterns, its quest is to become, what Arthur Schopenhauer called 'will to live'.  (Arthur Schopenhauer, 1818). He is explicit that: “Thus the will to live everywhere preys upon itself, and in different forms is its own nourishment, till finally the human race, because it subdues all the others, regards nature as a manufactory for its own use. Yet even the human race...reveals in itself with most terrible distinctness this conflict, this variance of the will with itself…”. Every ‘will to become' is a movement, encompassing the history of past and future; the degree of rationality and its gradation are normativized by thoughts as hierarchy of souls and monads. Human being as likeness and image of God possess the highest truth, indeed! In fact, human being is the only species who possess and owns the truth, it is the only mode of being who puts truth at stake, constructs its horizons and claim of legitimacy and illegitimacy, defi...

What is the stuff by which these images are made of? Who is maker and what is made? Student: They ar...

The Reciprocal Grounding of Freedom and Moral Law in Kant's Critique of Practical Reason

I Introduction: The Problem of Transcendental Freedom In Immanuel Kant's practical philosophy, transcendental freedom and the moral law are established not as independent concepts but as reciprocally determinant principles. This blog examines the central thesis of the Critique of Practical Reason, which posits that the moral law serves as the ratio cognoscendi (the reason for knowing) of freedom, while freedom is the ratio essendi (the reason for being) of the moral law. We become aware of our freedom only because we are first conscious of the moral law as an unconditional command; the "ought" reveals the "can." Conversely, the moral law itself could not exist as a binding principle were freedom not a real property of the will. Through a critical analysis of Kant’s text, this paper traces his argument from the rejection of all empirical moral theories to the establishment of a purely formal law, known as a "fact of reason." This analysis reveals how Ka...
