God uses it as stone to smash these soiled card-houses." - Sri Aurobindo Of the numerous schools of thought that gained prominence during the epic period as a reaction against the excessive ritualism and empty dogmatism of vedic religion or perhaps the increasing rigidity of caste system, one school of thought attracts the attention of present day scholars not only for its radical approach to the problems of blind belief but also for its similarities with the modern day rationalism and materialism of the west. It was the lokayata school of thought, believed to have been founded by Charvaka, whose history is shrouded in great mystery and myth. The world lokayata was used to refer to the person who believed in the reality of this world and the physical existence of man and of other beings on earth and nothing else. 'Loka' means the world and 'lokayata' means he who is centered around or relies upon this world only. The lokayatas believed in the existence of this world only, neither in heaven nor in hell, neither in vice nor virtue. They accepted only that reality which they could subjectively perceive and interact with, not in any imaginary world or some kind of ideal world. Practical and down to the earth, they believed in the existence of four elements only, namely the earth, water, fire, and air instead of the five elements of the vedic scriptures of which space or ether was the fifth element.

85. Analytic Philosophy - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia Article from this openly-edited reference. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_philosophy

Analytic philosophy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Philosophy Plato ... Traditions Analytic Continental Eastern Islamic Platonic ... e Analytic philosophy (sometimes analytical philosophy ) is a generic term for a style of philosophy that came to dominate English-speaking countries in the 20th century. In the United States United Kingdom Canada Scandinavia ... Australia , and New Zealand , the overwhelming majority of university philosophy departments identify themselves as "analytic" departments. Analytic philosophy is sometimes understood in contrast to other philosophical movements, such as continental philosophy Thomism , or Marxism The term "analytic philosophy" can refer to (a) a broad philosophical tradition characterized by an emphasis on clarity and argument (often achieved via modern formal logic and analysis of language ) and a respect for the natural sciences (b) the narrower set of developments in early 20th-century philosophy that were the historical antecedents of the broad sense: e.g., the work of Bertrand Russell Ludwig Wittgenstein G.E.

86. Ordinary Language Philosophy Brief historical survey of ordinary language philosophy by Garth Kemerling. http://www.philosophypages.com/hy/6u.htm

Philosophy Pages Search Dictionary Study Guide ... Locke Analysis of Ordinary Language Two generations of British philosophers joined with Wittgenstein by engaging in philosophical activity of the new sort. Although their individual interests differed, all shared the commitment to careful analysis of ordinary language and the confidence that this method would tend to dissolve traditional philosophical problems. John Wisdom Cambridge philosopher John Wisdom tempered Wittgensteinian emphasis on ordinary language with the common-sense approach of Moore . Thus, although he agreed that metaphysical and theological statements are technically non-sensical, Wisdom supposed that they may nevertheless play an important role in human life. In "Gods," for example, he explored the functions and uses of religious language considered independently of its claims to truth about a supernatural deity. The early article "Philosophical Perplexity" indicated the direction of Wisdom's analytic method. Although he acknowledged that the resolution of a philosophical problem involves only a recommendation for revisions in our linguistic usage, Wisdom maintained that even meaningless philosophical assertions can serve a positive function provided that they are not directly misleading. Assertions are bound to be misleading, he supposed, when they point out illusory similarities among expressions that have distinct functions. Thus, for example, it makes sense to doubt whether or not that really was Newt Gingrich I saw in the Atlanta airport on Friday, but an effort systematically to doubt whether or not there really is an external world is pointless and confusing.

88. Feminist History Of Philosophy (Stanford Encyclopedia Of Philosophy) Addresses the male-centric distortions in the main philosophies of history. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/feminism-femhist/

Cite this entry Search the SEP Advanced Search Tools ... Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free Feminist History of Philosophy First published Fri Nov 3, 2000; substantive revision Mon May 7, 2007 The past twenty-five years have seen an explosion of feminist writing on the philosophical canon, a development that has clear parallels in other disciplines like literature and art history. Since most of the writing is, in one way or another, critical of the tradition, a natural question to ask is: Why does the history of philosophy have importance for feminist philosophers? This question assumes that the history of philosophy is of importance for feminists, an assumption that is warranted by the sheer volume of recent feminist writing on the canon. This entry explores the different ways that feminist philosophers are interacting with the Western philosophical tradition. Feminist philosophers engaged in a project of re-reading and re-forming the philosophical canon have noticed two significant areas of concern. The first is the problem of historical exclusion. Feminist philosophers are faced with a tradition that believes that there are no women philosophers and, if there are any, they are unimportant. Of course, women are not entirely absent from the history of philosophy, and that brings us to the second challenge we face. Canonical philosophers have had plenty to say about women and what we are like. In general terms, we often find that philosophical norms like reason and objectivity are defined in contrast to matter, the irrational or whatever a given philosopher associates with women and the feminine. Our tradition tells us, either implicitly through images and metaphors, or explicitly in so many words, that philosophy itself, and its norms of reason and objectivity, exclude everything that is feminine or associated with women.

The Role Of Moral Leaders And The State Of Permanent Social Synthesis Section One: Social Psychology And Theory Of History B ased upon the relationship formed by the human mind with the natural and social environment, we can identify four different social groupings or behaviors. Each group has a different relationship with its environment and therefore develops different mental tendencies. The first group (the masses) are overwhelmed by the psycho-physical waves of reality. Unable to contend with it, this group spends its energy simply trying to exist. The second group (the warriors) commands the psycho-physical reality by physical force. The third (the intellectuals) commands by psychic (mental) force and the fourth (merchants) commands by controlling the manufacture and exchange of psycho-physical objects. In Sanskrit, these groups are called First we will examine the four groups in our theory, and then give a brief historical analysis from this perspective.

91. Philosophy Of History - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia Brief introductory summary of the Philosophy of History. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_history

Philosophy of history From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search For the work by Hegel, see Lectures on the Philosophy of History This article needs additional citations for verification Please help improve this article by adding reliable references . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed (August 2008) The term philosophy of history refers to the theoretical aspect of history, in two senses. It is customary to distinguish critical philosophy of history from speculative philosophy of history . Critical philosophy of history is the "theory" aspect of the discipline of academic history, and deals with questions such as the nature of historical evidence, the degree to which objectivity is possible, etc. Speculative philosophy of history is an area of philosophy concerning the eventual significance, if any, of human history Furthermore, it speculates as to a possible teleological end to its development—that is, it asks if there is a design, purpose, directive principle, or finality in the processes of human history. Part of Marxism, for example, is speculative philosophy of history. Though there is some overlap between the two, they can usually be distinguished; modern professional historians tend to be skeptical about speculative philosophy of history. Sometimes critical philosophy of history is included under historiography . Philosophy of history should not be confused with the history of philosophy , which is the study of the development of philosophical ideas through time.

92. Roberts - Geoffrey Elton And The Philosophy Of History Summary of the historian Geoffrey Elton s philosophy of history. http://www.ucc.ie/chronicon/elton.htm

Home Forum DEFENDER OF THE FAITH: GEOFFREY ELTON AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY GEOFFREY ROBERTS Department of History, University College, Cork g.roberts@ucc.ie Chronicon ISSN 1393-5259 When Sir Geoffrey Elton died in December 1994 the obituaries naturally focused on his contribution to the history of Tudor England. Elton's name will forever be identified with the Tudors and his numerous textbooks, monographs, and papers on early modern England must surely rank as one of the greatest ever achievements of historical labour. But Elton left another, equally important, legacy: a vigorous defence of traditional, narrative historyhistory as the reconstruction and telling of tales about past human experiences, actions, thoughts and endeavours. Elton's first and most famous foray into the philosophy of history was The Practice of History (1967)a manifesto, he said, setting out his experience of studying, writing and teaching history. This was followed by Political History: Principles and Practice (1970) in which he argued for the centrality and importance of political action in the study of the past and further developed his views on the nature of historical explanation.

93. Hegel's Philosophy Of History Hegel s philosophy of history from a historian s perspective. http://www.historicalinsights.com/dave/hegel.html

Back to main page A HISTORIAN LOOKS AT HEGEL PHILOSOPHICALLY: CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF HEGELIAN DIALECTIC, DETERMINISM, AND CONTINGENCY The philosophy of history espoused by George Frederick Hegel, philosopher and historian, has often been viewed as largely teleological. It has often been speculated that this philosophical presumption arose from the historical context of Hegel's life, whether negatively through his fear of the French Terror or positively from his dedication to the Romantic thesis that Reason shapes the universe. Nonetheless, Hegel's commitment to the dialectical progression of time and to the triumphant end of history is taken to be a largely deterministic and ahistorical philosophy. Such a reading, I would argue, would be a mistaken. Hegel as a determinist It is not difficult to see how this interpretation of Hegel arose. In Phenomenology of Spirit , Hegel openly espouses determinism by stating that "world history exhibits nothing other than the plan of providence." He further develops this belief in his Introduction to the Philosophy of History , explaining that "in the pure light of this divine Idea... the illusion that the world is a mad or foolish happening disappears." Indeed, at no point in his writings does Hegel appear willing to place conditions upon these dogmatic statements. He is consistent in his assertion that history follows a specific path, one predetermined by the purposeful movement of Spirit through time:

95. The John William Miller Fellowship Fund Joseph Fell s summary of John William Miller s philosophy. http://www.williams.edu/resources/miller/philosophy.html

As many commentators and students have remarked, John William Miller's thought is difficult to describe and understand—it resists scholarly pigeonholing and his writing eludes the reader in its deceptive simplicity. This is due in part to the fact that Miller wrote as a philosopher rather than as a scholar, eschewing annotation and the tracing of influences. The resistance that his philosophy offers is perhaps attributable more to the relative novelty of both its form and its terminology. Particularly in the middle decades of the 20th century, this novelty seemed to doom his thought to obscurity as Miller wrote contrary to the major positivistic trend in Anglo-American thought. Yet today, when the historical and idealist bases of philosophical thought are being recouped, Miller's philosophy stands a better chance of receiving a fair and informed hearing. Filiations The Matter Miller's philosophy is a hybrid. Initiated into the debate between realism and idealism, as well as the dispute between pragmatism and idealism, Miller consciously sought a middle route through these oppositions. This via media Introductory Essays Links to two introductory essays on Miller's philosophy are offered below. Joseph P. Fell's "Miller: The Man and His Philosophy" provides a general introduction to Miller's thought—i.e., its bases, structure, and import. Vincent M. Colapietro's "Reason, Conflict, and Violence: John William Miller's Conception of Philosophy" expands on Fell's introduction by examining Miller's sense of the matter of philosophy itself.
