Aurobindo: An Ideologue of New Nationalism

B Chakrabarty - 2024

[HTML] JN (Jitendra Nath) Mohanty

DW Smith, P Bilimoria - 2024
Professor JN Mohanty has characterized his life and philosophy as being both ‘inside’and ‘outside’East and West, ie, inside and outside traditions of India and those of the West, living in both India and United States: geographically, culturally, and …

Yet all this while Mohanty was also thinking and writing about Indian philosophy and its relation to phenomenology. In his own retrospective, Indian philosophy is ‘the permanent background’ of his Husserlian thinking, while Kant is the recurrent Western background of his Husserlian phenomenology. Mohanty’s form of ‘transcendental phenomenology’ evolved, in his own perspective, against the background of his studies of Navya-Nyāya on logic and Vedānta on consciousness, in Indian philosophy, and against the background of Kant’s First Critique on the transcendental, in Western philosophy. Accordingly, Mohanty’s study of logical form and of the intentionality of consciousness seeks a fusion of East and West in the conception of transcendental phenomenology.

Technology, philosophy, and happiness
