Ideas and perspectives that are to be changed

Race, secularism, and the public intellectual [image: Writing | Image via Flickr user Jonathan Kim] Who counts as a black Christian public intellectual? There are certainly public figures who are not in...
Intellectual work is not repeating what is obvious, and intellectual work does not leave the observer thinking in the same way she was thinking before. Some intellectual work weaves together disparate threads. Some intellectual work makes explicit what was once implicit. Some intellectual work provides a new framework for approaching an activity or seeing an aspect of the world. Those performing intellectual work, then, can be singers or dancers, professors or politicians, poets or preachers or tweeters.
But intellectual work is different from the role of the intellectual. The latter suggests second-order reflection: not just changing the way others see the world but explicitly addressing the ideas and perspectives that are to be changed and how they are to be changed. Intellectuals can be found at elite levels, including in universities, in literary reviews, and in think tanks, but they can also be found at the grassroots, among those challenging their marginalization. They are not found in between. At a conceptual level, the bourgeois intellectual is an oxymoron, as the essence of the bourgeoisie is a needy clinging to the perceived security of worldly order.
The experience of marginalization breeds intellectuals, but the privations of marginalization suppress the possibility for those intellectuals to express themselves. Those at the margins, who suffer at the hands of elites, by means of the ideas of elites, automatically question those ideas. At the margins, it is natural to imagine the world otherwise—but it is also exceedingly difficult to sustain this imagination, given the power and violence of elites. Despite these odds, impressive intellectuals emerge from the margins: Anna Julia Cooper and Ida B. Wells, Paul Robeson and C. L. R. James, Ella Baker and James Lee Boggs, to name just a few black examples.
Circumstances change. Oppression takes new forms. Anti-black racism may persist in its virulence, but the current economic and cultural regime of neoliberal multiculturalism is particularly skilled at sowing confusion and misdirection. Many aspects of this phenomenon have been carefully discussed (for example, by Lisa Duggan, Jodi Melamed, and Lester Spence)

Creating a better future through great literature

Huffington Post
reading and discussion of rich literature gave students a platform for exploring alternatives and thinking about their own dilemmas.
Teenagers ask: “Why am I here? What is my purpose in life? Where am I going?” I’ve found that guiding students through literature and active discussion begins the process of answering these difficult questions and provides life skills that extend beyond the classroom.
Conflicts between good and evil presented in stories and poems can be applied to personal and ethical choices in a student’s life, and these concepts are the same for every student—from urban to suburban schools, from American to international schools—the universal qualities of literature provide shape and substance for student exploration. Because literature is a cultural treasure that stands as a pillar of human experience, great books and the conversations surrounding them can lead students to moments of insight, of truth.
Now, with the Great Books Foundation in the service of the Shared Inquiry method, I have the opportunity to reach thousands of students of all ages all over the country.
Through the reading and discussion of literature, students develop a deeper sense of their potential and begin the long process of discovering their personal identities. Literature also allows students and adults to connect with their larger cultural identities, a process that requires the exercise of empathy and understanding, particularly when cultural assumptions are challenged.
The experience of literature offers the possibility of common ground—our shared humanity—and the opportunity to confront and understand a world of different ideas, backgrounds, and perspectives. Literature, therefore, is essential for personal growth and social progress—our very survival may depend on it.

Swarajya-6 hours ago
Sri Aurobindo saw evolution as a movement 'out of a material Inconscience into spiritual consciousness, an evolutionary self-building of Spirit on base of Matter.
The view of evolution, which The Mother (Mira Alfasa), spiritual collaborator of Sri Aurobindo, presented was heavily influenced by Theosophy’s view of evolution.

There is not a single empirical finding to believe in physicalism

I’m not always eager to promote Aristotle, but so far, no materialistic scientist has refuted the various forms of causation that Aristotle laid out for us.

The same thing here, with evolution. The utter freakout that Coyne and others experience when they hear about epigenetics or anything that even hints that “mind” or intelligence or consciousness may play a causal role in evolution has nothing to do with logic. They just KNOW in their hearts (biologist Richard Lewontin, by the way, actually admitted his adherence to materialism had nothing to do with logic and everything to do with hatred and fear of religion) that materialism is the only way to explain anything, and that is what scientists MUST adhere to.

But just as is the case with psi, whatever mind-evolution effects scientists will finally wake up to, those who insist on defying Aristotle and even the simplest most basic logical premises may, if they wish, defy the open-minded open-hearted spirit of science and continue to insist that all we need are mateiralist/physicalist premises.

The mechanists and organicists fought over this during the Renaissance. Unfortunately, the mechanists - aptly represented by those like Francis Bacon who characteristically spoke of nature as “She” (capital “S”) and called for his “fellow’ scientists to “rape” and “subjugate” “Her.” - won. And with Crick, Dawson, and other contemporary mechanists, they’ve been controlling the dialog since.

In the Coyne article I linked to, Coyne rages about science as “one way of knowing.” Well, sorry Jerry, it is only one - at least, the purely quantitative, life denying, the universe is as pointless and meaningless as it is dead and stupid type pseudo-science that passes for knowledge these days, is only one way of knowing. Very powerful for predicting and controlling (you might call it the “Trump” based kind of knowledge) but useless for understanding.

No, worse than useless, because it gives the illusion of understanding, whereas more than 2 millennia ago, the Vedantins understood quite well (the original Upanishadic Vedantics, not necessarily the Advaitins) that such superficial quantitative knowledge was the very essence of “Maya” (one of the translations being, “to measure” - another translation being “magic”).

It is a very dangerous Frankensteinian magic. The Jewish tale of the Golem alludes to this as well. There have been warnings about the asuric power of “number”, of “measurement” for thousands of years among the earth’s wise men and women.

We seem to be at a turning point. This power that comes from measure is destroying our climate, and may lead to the end of the human race. Jean Gebser, Sri Aurobindo, Duane Elgin, Iain McGilchrist and others have warned us, if we don’t put this mechanistic, quantitative form of knowing (which, in the political sphere, takes the form of abstract digital money taking precedence over life-giving care and kindness and compassionate service - a demonic form of power grabbing that was illustrated beautiful on the battlefield of Kurushetra in the Bhagavad Gita) in its rightful, secondary place.

McGilchrist borrowed from Nietzsche’s fable of the master and his emissary, the emissary (our quantitative mode of thought) stealing the place of the master (our intuitive, direct way of knowing) and thus leading to his ruin. McGilchrist masterfully analyzes the Icarus-like hubris of Western civilization in his book of the same name (The Master and His Emissary) and shows the truly horrific place we’ve come to (reflected in the world-wide, neoliberal/neo-conservative power structure that is almost entirely in control of the mechanistic science and technology of the 21st century (with the corollary take over of medicine by Big Pharma and the pushing of STEM in our educational sphere).

By the way, Jerry Coyne, one of the great high priests of fundamaterialism, once admitted, though with great reluctance, that epigenetic changes - even those caused by psychological phenomena - do in fact last for at least 4 generations - and hinted that it might actually be possible that they could lead to longer lasting or even permanent genetic changes.

It doesn’t take much to see that that could lead to a radical overview of what evolution really is. Add to that the irrefutable replicated psi studies, and recognizing that psi effects could be part of these epigenetic changes, particularly because of the lack of defined individuality in most animals leading to field-psi effects, and you at least begin to see the meaningfulness of evolution.

Add to that a revolution in the understanding of how so called “laws of nature” came about and how they could possibly persist (see Raymond Tallis and Steve Talbot on this; Talbot possibly being the best writer available on the net on the miserable failure of quantitative science to understand anything about anything), combine with a revolutionary understanding of psi (see James Carpenter’s “First Sight” theory, mix with Francisco Varela’s neurophenomenology) and place it all on a foundation of Ed Kelly’s panentheism (see Michael Murphy’s free article on the net) and Sri Aurobindo’s purna advaita (integral non dualism) and you have the first inklings of what science will be like in the 22nd century.

Patrik, Jerry Coyne is one of the biggest materialist fanatics on the net. He is absolutely impervious to reason when any of his physicalist fantasies are challenged.

There is not a single empirical finding that requires us to believe in the truly psychotic and ultimately incoherent faith of physicalism. Thus, when someone is an adherent of that faith, they have to not only believe crazy things, but attack all the sensible things that challenge their faith.

4.1 Health – A Dynamic Equilibrium
Introduction

The past few decades have seen rapidly changing concepts of health. While the ancients could never view health in isolation and a human being as an egocentric special something, standing apart from the world, the last couple of centuries have become obsessed with the illness concept of health almost exclusively. The extreme reductionism of modern life sciences has also led to an overemphasis of such an isolation of ‘a part against the whole’, demanding an exclusive study.

All this has led to an extremely mechanistic or an almost a mechanistic view of life. According to this view, life is a machine, grossly physical with nuts and bolts to be replaced or overhauled, as and when wear and tear takes place. While the wisdom of the past had extended life not only to man’s immediate surroundings but also to the sun, the moon, the planets and the whole cosmos, the current preoccupation has been with a narrower and still narrower view of life. This has been further exaggerated by the modern tendency to specialise and overspecialize, whereby the same symptom means different things to different specialists and albeit even gets cured equally well or equally badly by them. Even among the super-specialists there is such a disagreement that it will be no exaggeration to say that the doctors today are becoming less comfortable with the living patient and are more at ease while dealing with dead tissues, observing their pathologies under the microscope. Let us examine some of these issues.

Grand vision and unreliable Utopia in the service of Pedagogy

On the other hand, Auroville is a hotbed of creative eco-experimentation, ...

Philosophy of Indian Pedagogy
Kireet Joshi
Presuppositions of Pedagogy
All systems of pedagogy, Eastern or Western, have certain presuppositions which are derived from a larger canvas of human experience. These presupposi-tions include the following:
§ Human growth takes place by means of a natural process, supported or aided by certain deliberate processes and methods;
§ Human growth implies increasing self-consciousness, development of skills and faculties, and the capacities required to meet the challenges of life and of the cultural context in which one is required to meet the demands of the individual and collective life;
§ At a deeper level, human growth is aided by the development of arts, sciences, and technologies that enable the individual and collectivity to build up bridges between the past and the future through accumulation of experience and transmission of valuable lessons of that experience to the growing generations;
§ Increasing effectivity of educational process depends on the degree to which natural processes of growth and deliberate processes of growth are blended harmoniously; and
§ Deliberate processes that are employed for aiding human growth require to be constantly subtilised so that the processes of growth attain increasing acceleration at an optimum level, which may differ from individual to individual and from collectivity to collectivity.

Sri Aurobindo makes this point in a chapter of The Human Cycleentitled “The Suprarational Ultimate of Life”—the longest chapter in the book, whose extensive revision indicates the importance he gave to it… As instances of vital ideals of this kind, he continues, we need only note, however imperfect and dim the present shapes, the strivings of love at its own self-finding, its reachings towards its absolute—the absolute love of man and woman, the absolute maternal or paternal, filial or fraternal love, the love of friends, the love of comrades, love of country, love of humanity.
It is relevant to note that one of these ideals, “the absolute love of man and woman”, is the theme of the ancient story of Savitri and Satyavan. If Sri Aurobindo, instead of completing The Synthesis of Yoga and other works, devoted most of his literary energy in his later years to an epic based on this legend, it was evidently because through this tale of the victory of love over death he could symbolise a truth that was central to his message… Moreover, the debate between Savitri and Death provides an opportunity for bringing out the significance of the ideals which Sri Aurobindo saw as signs of a suprarational influence… In Book Ten, Canto Two, “The Gospel of Death and Vanity of the Ideal”, and in “The Debate of Love and Death” which follows, he takes up precisely the question raised in The Human Cycle. 12:02 PM

While I think Hegel was more methodologically sophisticated than Wilber, there is a lot missing from Hegel’s synthesis. Science, especially, has changed a lot, making Hegel’s philosophy of nature difficult to accept; so too, Hegel’s thought has no room for the shining achievement of the 20th century, namely feminism and the liberation of women. And while Hegel at least attempted to include Asian philosophies in his synthesis, in a way that few had before, they were stuck at the earliest and lowest level of his philosophy, making Hegel “strong with respect to time and weak with respect to space”. 
All of these vast gaps in Hegel’s thought – science, feminism, Asian philosophy – Wilber has tried hard to give a central place in his thought. His attempted synthesis is the widest one I know of – Wilber gives us some vision of what a unified synthesis now could look like.] Posted at 3:40 PM
