PHILOSOPHY |
| The love of knowledge, or so the ancient Greeks chose to define philosophy. Whether religious or atheistic, philosophies the world over have always tried to find a formula for human happiness and spiritual prosperity. And to this end men have tried to utilize gathered knowledge. What is to be known? How is it to be known? What are the instruments of knowledge? These have been some eternal queries of traditional philosophies. East of Eden Reverence for the planet's ecological system and a deep respect for Mother Nature is not a New Age phenomenon. Such sentiments have been part of eastern philosophy for ages. Recent times, in fact, have been witness to a major comeback of such ecology-based philosophies.
Feminism It is regrettable that terms like 'feminism', 'gender studies' and 'women's studies' continue to attract suspicion and sarcasm in this day and age. Yet it's practically impossible to summarily write off nearly half of the global population so easily. As a result, dominant society continues to remain at an impasse till date. Gaia
Hypothesis Perhaps it is time to take a second look at the living terra firma around us and see if it is not a living breathing entity whose parts we are. Lifescripts There is no denying the fact that there is a life script for each one of us. The point is, can we change what's written in it? Meaning of Life Despite centuries of Man's continued existence on this planet, he has failed to conclusively solve the riddle posed by two indelible facts of human existence—Life and Death. What is Life? Religions have preached about it, philosophers have pondered over it and ordinary mortals have lived through it. But the eternal mystery of Life still eludes us. New Age The New Age is here. Alternative therapies, energy healing, simple living, organic farming, spiritual quests-popular demand is rooting for an altogether alternative and holistic lifestyle like never before. Yes, the New Age has arrived! |
