PERSONIFICATION OF LIFE

What is an achievement if it remains personal? If one dares to ask air about its personality what answer he will receive? If one asks the stream of water about their name and identity; what answers are expected? Life is a phenomenon, happening here-and-now, transcending any and every pre-supposed limitation of individuality. I dare to experience I'm not one. I am a fragment of the big reality in happening. I don't exist in personification, abstraction. Ego is a boundless possibility if and only if there is endeavor to break the shackles of "Platonic Cave", which is not a transcendental imagination, outside reality, but immanently striving for the "Will-to-life".

No global catastrophe, emerged out of chaste-thumping parochialism, would have knocked at the door to the humanity, had there been visions to see outside limitations. What personal achievement has not been swallowed in by the history of life? What has remained but the dust of life. After industrial age, humans became a big gigantic machine, and their imaginative dimensions witnessed contraction of collective imagination. After digital age,  machine has almost disappeared, nay, sublated into encashable data, which is a part of meta-data (the big whole of the world). Even personal is no more sociological, but stimulative symbol, encapsulating the sign value. In the age of "surplus success", spiritual and psychological dimensions of life are without any significance. What have we achieved but the immense suffering of solitude. Villages have become ghosts, awaiting their parts forever. Cities are running like a general bogey of train, and people are taking refuge from their own shadow, they are lives without feeling it, without living it.

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...

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...

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. Ultim...
