This book, a
Festschrift for Professor S.A.Shaida and dealing with matters close to his
heart, brings together a wide spectrum of essays written by scholars from
philosophy, social sciences, feminism, literature and religion; and engages
with some of the most fundamental themes in the domains of existence,
experience and ethics. The first section represents different interrogations
of the autonomous individual existence postulated by modernity. Each of the
essays here attempt to broaden the ground of existence by highlighting
aspects of its ‘underside’: the mental, the ‘insane’ aspects of mind, the
experience of pre-selfconscious self, the history of autonomous individual
before its invention in modern Europe, and such other forms of existence as
‘you’ and ‘we.’ The essays in the second section discuss experience, more
specifically artistic experience, which constitutes an important facet of
human existence. The discussion centres on aspects of the debate between
purists and realists in aesthetics, and articulates the need to go beyond
these polarities. From an aesthetics that is concerned with the heightened
level of experience, the next section deals with issues of ethics and moral
philosophy and engages questions of universalism, liberalism, objectivism,
fact-value dichotomy, phenomenology of values and so on. The last section
traverses the ground of inter-religious interaction and dialogue. The
uniqueness of this volume lies in its multidisciplinary space of articulation
and would be of considerable interest to teachers and students in the history
of philosophy, religion, social sciences, aesthetics and literature. The
methodological ground leared by most of the papers could lend a further
critical edge to contemporary studies of the modern disciplines. |
