In Search of Alternative Progress

The narratives of progress and regress are mythological in character. Every spirit, every mind proposes his vision with utmost certainty as if no other alternative is equally true. This sense of certainty brings dogmatic scholarship, devoid of any possibility to attain objectivity and truth. The so called progressives treat history and mythology with contempts at the cost of nurturing his unconscious continuity of past and present. DNA is a living example of continuous evolution of genes. Language is another example which makes the society a continuous substratum, like a living organisms. What else could be said than the fact that all our relative knowledge in Buddhist term takes its shape in structure of time and space. Time is a scale of history, not necessarily making everything better, but it encompasses all the experiences ever experienced. A fragment of second is super-rich like a nucleus of atom. So called progressives vehemently react against the reality and lives in a superficial world of heaven crafted by a few ideologues, whose lives and practices were never in conformity with the theories they proposed to build a hyper-society of Engels. There is another alternative of progress proposed by moralists and culturalists. This model is all about living in a fictional world of history, whereas the river of milk was flowing without any scarcity. Modern culture has poisoned that river and has made every stream of water as stinking sewers. In dichotomy of bipolar narratives is there any possibly to visualise the freshness of Sunrise and droplets? Can there be a progress without getting associated with the mythology of dogmatic scholarships? Possibility is aways there. But every possibility also brings in its inception the negation of potentials.

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...
