[DOC] Person & Personal Identity: As Envisioned by Sri Aurobindo in his Yogic Psychology
D BANERJEE
The problem of Personal Identity seems very much complex in nature in the context of Indian as well as Western psychology. Person is simply thought to be the admixture of mind-body complex. However there remains a controversy about the relation between 'person'and ' ...

Since many years, I have been greatly inspired by the sense of humanism and secularism. I am a committed humanist, keeping me away from any religious particularity which causes adverse effects on fellow feeling. The religious sense of spiritual awakening is not to be taken as boosting the sense of morality. These two concepts are not necessarily tied up. Rather, morality, to me, is a socio-individual affair in human sphere and legitimately meaningful only in that place without lurking into any will-o’ the wisp, i.e., other-worldly transcendence.
As per India’s current form of democratic secularism, the surreptitious socio-political so-called meaning of secularism as “Equal treatment to all religions” is to me unfair and preposterous. Because secular spirit is basically nonreligious and the idea of non-theocratic state is inbuilt in it. India today is politically designed as non-theocratic. In that way, it is to keep itself away from any sort of inclusion of religious spirit in the backdoor method. Such promotion is definitely offensive to our democratic socio-political framework. Religious preferences ought to be confined to personal preference and need not be entertained at public places. This is my firm belief and commitment. So, I have discarded all such religious settings and adopted reason-based conclusion that boosts scientific temper. I very much hold that a man of no-religion along with any other man believing a religion is a bonafide citizen.
Of all the best thinkers of the world, whom do you rate high?
The early Greek thinkers like Plato and Aristotle, who established national inquiry as the touchstone of philosophising (400-200 BC). JS Mill was an outstanding freethinker who was famous in advocating the spirit of secularism and was against the anti-human move of the theologians. I was also highly impressed by the writing of Leo Tolstoy (War and Peace) in which he was vocal against human oppression and subjugation of the poor and unprivileged (19th century). I regard the great thinker of last century B Russell who fought for freethinking and openness in matters of political governance. In India, there are good numbers of thinkers from ancient to the modern times. Chanakya definitely hinted Indian philosophy (Darsana) an reasoned inquiry (Anuikshiki) which strikes against the age-old misnomer that Darsana and dharma are necessarily close. This is, as a matter of fact, not the case. There are number of great writers who are freethinkers. To name a few here; the ancient Lokayata Brihaspati, modern reformists like MN Roy, Raja Ram Mohon Roy, BR Ambedkar, A Kavoor, Periyar EV Ramsamy and J Nehru.
Of all the Indian rulers/administrators, whom do you prefer as worthy?
I find Bentinck (who banned burning of alive widows), L Macaulay (who introduced English study in Indian), TE Ravenshaw (as Commissioner of Odiaha who controlled flood by construction of big canals and barrages), J Nehru for introducing secular spirit in Indian democratic governance and promoting scientific temper.
