Life in a Postmodern Condition



What is the biggest joy in which one may in perpetually? Perhaps ecstasy of love, and being loved. For desire to become all powerful and famous is debasement of human's imagination. In the due course of history only famous thing survives is nothing but destruction and creation of everything. Nothing is so permanent to desire for. Nothing is beautiful enough to embrace in perpetuity. The adventurous life is an experiment to become what you are not, to learn, to live courageously, to uncloud the existing unfreedoms for a better soothing life to come. Living life like a slavish habit is a sin to abhor. Habit is often an antithesis to the possibility of wonder (David Hume).More we inculcate wonder more imaginations come to play a role. Experimenting life is the biggest adventure for scepticism is not altogether a bad company. Surrending reason for the sake of irrational wish is dangerous for the life (Burtrand Russell). No matter what you wish, life has its own rules, which happens randomly, by chance (See, example of Quantum Mechanics). Our laws are simply a "statistical mean" of all the extremes happen (Burtrand Russell, Why am I not a Christian). Law is projection of our mind. Nature has everything to express. It doesn't have any exclusive law, remains  for perpetuity. To create law and to worship it like an objective truth is fallacy adopted by positivists. Catholic churches around the globe felt in the same way while pronouncing divine law. Comity of Nations came out with so many declarations with anthropocentric outlook of life and nature. But it never remained as an objective truth. Humankind worshiped authority in nature of parental care, family, society, institutions, but on the other side of the story individualism flourished. Further, right to leave alone has become suicidal and distressing for young minds, who are struggling for the meaning of life. Too much successes are equally poisonous for the possibility of life. That's how the postmodern condition has produced the death of standard. No truth, no value, no sense of beauty is eternal for the devotee of postmodern reality. Now meaning of life is written and painted like an artist had free will to create as per his or her own wishes. This is freedom in today's sense what we conceive. This romanticism is not everlasting. The path of life is still moving, going away from the established truth. And the wiser is she who is ready to accept the future. Future is always a possibility. Past is dead no matter what you wish to become or what you dreamed since childhood. Future is full of possibilities to rewrite the dream, to transform it. And the wiser is he who has no fixed plan, but a zeal to listen his heart perpetually, so as to unlearn the wishes of past, and to establish ideals as per the change of the nature around us.

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...

The Glory of Belief Industry

Disappearance of questions is the pre-condition of artificial certainty. Therefore, it is profitable investment to establish and sustain the belief industry. This industry produces the efficient Man whose substratum is not the divine soul or mental faculty but a non-thinking mind which militantly conform the group solidarity of the masses. When answers are easily available and generated by the Artificial Intelligence, who will take the pain for thinking and unthinking or deliberating to develop logical capacity or for establishing the paradigm of truth? As Ashis Nandy explains the creative process which requires to meditate with the questions and to remain with the questions for a longer period of time to create and unveil the mask of deception. The artistry in epistemic creativity necessitates the patience caring of the questions. The cultivation and exploration of questions and mitigated skepticism to unravel what is said and unsaid, the expressions and silences. Even so called Dark ...
