QUEST OF QUESTIONS



What kind of attitude qualifies as learned and learnable? A distanced attitude from the society or becoming a part of societal happenings? What kind of questions are fundamental enough to be accepted as questions? What is trivial about questions? Whether questions are asked by questionable minds or questions are ontologically natural? Why do we question about the quest of questions? What is childish about questions? And which one is a mature one? I find questionable attitude is a sign of progress. And the most difficult questions are childish, but in fact, mature one remains a trivial one. Maturity is nothing but a symptom of habit, which is misunderstood as seriousness and sincerity. Being a child is the sincerest and a vital stage of human development, which needs the urgency of sensitive nurturing, so as to ensure their quest for questions. A sense of wonder, once starts dieing, all sorts of colours of life are reduced into binary. The serious problem is the death of question. Questions are the fundamental building blocks of our progress. And the one who is enamoured in questions are still alive. Those who accept the boredom of daily routine die daily instead of once. And the one who questions the very existence of pre-suppositions, in form of literatures, paintings, and philosophies, is a torchbearer of progress. The 21st century of our world may have achieved all sorts of technological progress, but the foundations of questions are no more. Superstitious believes are kept once and for all as the truth or the very quest of truth is muddled amidst the dark matters of propaganda and mis-informations. In an age in which we are living, the tradition of questions and critical examination are existential in every way.

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...
