Coherent Incoherence: Ideology of Interest

Information explodes have already strained human's relationship with her nature. Every site of reflection; be it psyche, books, television, or newspaper is a contradictory conglomeration. Reading today's The Hindu lead I'm mesmerized by Krishna Kumar's "Steel Frame or Steel Cage", which is a piece criticizing what it means to a very important person. The way division of labour has been castigated for creation of value; some works are worshipped; some are denigrated. VIP culture is inculcated from the very family, moving forward one becomes aware about the "market of success". Krishna Kumar has canvassed a picture of IAS dreams, however, The Hindu in its Edge glorifies IAS dreams with a piece which has been written by A.K. Mishra, "Gear up for the Prelims". Discourse in today's world has become the "coherence of incoherent ideas". This baffling attitude doesn't remain restricted to any media house. It is the structure of incoherent psyche which forgets the moment explodes. This effective forgetfulness is a new art of life; where ethical parameter has broken into pieces. Only temporal interest is the ideology; the bigger picture must be avoided.

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...
