Experiencial Learning and Anthropology of Suffering

Suffering is inevitable once consciousness is on voyage of freedom. Freedom comes with the heavy responsibility; empathy for that matter is a connecting fraternal bond from being to Being. Empathy elevates empathised and empathiser from the two different objects; where suffering of one is shared by others. In Gandhian language the pure joy of "Vaishnav Jan" is to feel the pain of other's sufferings. For no pedagogical masterpiece like Harry Potter could experience a bond of love in a logical tension between good and evil. For anthropology of suffering, good and evil is uncategorised; their oevre is rejected, in a sense that every evil has a bond with goodness; and every good notion suffers from evil strokes. It is beyond good and evil there is a life for empathy, love, and joy. For no pedagogy could teach what it means to love and to be loved. Suffering is the true law of nature; it cannot be avoided; however, it may be shared with each-other. The true freedom in a human's life is possible only through inter-subjective experiencial learning. For no science or metaphysical euphoria is required to be asserted; it is anthropology of experiencial learning, nay, anthropology of suffering is required to be developed for the language of freedom and justice; the true liberators reside within; for no ethical parameter or cultural super-ego could establish the truth than our own sense of belonging to the community at lange in Universe.

The Physical Basis of Conscious Life: A Synthesis of William James's Physiological Psychology

I Introduction: Bridging Physiology and Psychology William James, in his landmark work The Principles of Psychology, provides a foundational framework connecting the brain's physiological mechanisms to the purposive, selective, and unified nature of conscious mental life. This blog analyzes James’s synthesis, which grounds psychological phenomena in the material workings of the nervous system without reducing consciousness to a mere epiphenomenon. We will explore his hierarchical model of the brain, which evolves from simple reflex actions in the lower nerve centers to the complex, deliberative functions of the cerebrum. Key themes include the role of the cerebrum as an organ of foresight and prudence, the physiological mechanism of habit as the process by which experience physically imprints itself upon the brain’s plastic matter, and consciousness's essential function as a “selecting agency” that is causally efficacious in steering the organism toward its own interests.

Martin Heidegger's Deconstruction of the History of Ontology

I Introduction In the opening pages of his magnum opus, Being and Time, Martin Heidegger resurrects a question he argues has been buried for millennia, framing his entire project with an epigraph from Plato’s Sophist: “For manifestly you have long been aware of what you mean when you use the expression ‘being’. We, however, who used to think we understood it, have now become perplexed.” This is no mere academic exercise but a deliberate reawakening of what Heidegger argues is the most fundamental and, paradoxically, the most forgotten question in the history of Western thought. For Heidegger, a pervasive “forgetfulness of Being” has characterized philosophy since antiquity, where the initial, vibrant inquiry into what it means “to be” solidified into a series of unexamined dogmas. The question was not answered and then set aside; rather, it fell into obscurity, concealed by the very traditions that were supposed to preserve it. This blog argues that Heidegger's critical "dest...

Sterile Preoccupation: Towards Technocracy and Loss of Human

William Blake, Newton (1795 ) Roland Barthes reminds us, looks us back from his grave, and constantly warns us about the mythological character of human life, our society, and the relationship of human with the life-systems, whereas symbolic profusions outweigh rational contemplation, emotive appeals are strategically manoeuvred for the deceptive promises and considerations, rhetorical narratives are deployed to symbolize the virtue of unbounded eloquences, significances, and exemplifying extravagances of meanings, ritualistic and mechanical productions of narratives, and seductions towards efficacy as instrumentalised worldview have relegated human relationships to the status of mechanization and technocratizations. What is so significant about the mechanisation of thinking and ritualistic institutionalisation? If not the loss of humanistic elements in the human relationships and the relationships of human species from their nature, ecosystem, and the life-systems itself. What is so p...
