Hardcover. Condition: New. The present book rests on three observations, i.e. Confucianism, which is moralistic; Taoism, which is naturalistic/materialistic; and the Buddhism which is metaphysical in nature. The esoteric School in Philosophy tends to regard the human being as basically good. This basic goodness cannot be brought by rules and methods. The Taoists are esoteric according to whom any activity which distorts basic and natural goodness will lead to imperfection. The exoteric schools tend to see mankind as basically evil, 'fallen' from the state of perfect harmony. These schools believe in scriptures or the doctrines of venerated teachers to restore harmony in the society. Confucius preached humanism, family value and love which will lead to social stability. Social stability is vital for political stability. Confucius teachings are relevant even today for social and political stability. Dr Ramanujam has given equal weightage to Neo-Confucianism, impact of Chinese philosophy on Japan, Korea and the modern period and recent trends in Chinese philosophy too. Sun-Yat-Sen, who is called the father of China, attempted a synthesis of Western Philosophical concepts with Chinese tradition and laid the foundation for modern China. Mao-Tse-Tung's communist revolution brought about social and political changes in China. In a nutshell, the book is exhaustive and will find it worth-reading, worth-remembering and worth-reciting and quoting.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. This book on Philosophy of Science is an attempt to introduce the topic to the students of Indian Universities. Part I of this book covers the syllabus prescribed by the University Grants Commission (U.G.C.) for the subject Philosophy of Science for M.A. students (Chapter I to Chapter V). Part II of this book provides some basic understanding on Philosophy of Mathematics, structure of the universe, Scientific Explanation and Science and Humanity (Chapter VI to Chapter IX). Most of the books on Philosophy of science focus on Karl Popper's 'falsification theory' and Thomas Kuhn's 'paradigm shift'. But Philosophy of Science is not just a 'talk' on Science; it must include the knowledge of the contents of basic sciences such as Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. The more one knows the 'facts' of science, the wider is the scope for philosophising science. There are journals on philosophy of science published in England and America. The contributors are mostly experts in Engineering, Medicine, Bio-sciences and Mathematical Sciences. For critical analysis of the conclusions of the sciences one should have expertise in the field of science. Such criticisms will be conducive for the further developments of the sciences. I hope this book will be useful to the readers who are interested in Philosophy of Science.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. This book is an attempt to give a bird's eye view of different aspects of the Philosophy of Tamils. Tamils are a distinct group of people with their own culture, religion, and philosophy. They have contributed immensely to all fields of human knowledge and endeavor, including poetry, literature, and so forth. The philosophy of Shaiva Siddhanta is the best outcome of Tamil religiosity. The moral and spiritual aspects of Tamil culture which are very relevant to the present rapidly changing worlds of social, technological & historical trajectories. Tamil culture and civilization with their variety and creativity, have an appropriate place in the full gamut of Indian philosophical traditions. Tamil scholars who glorify the ancient past of the Tamils refer to the literary works of the Sangam period. It is necessary to focus on the philosophical aspects of the contributions made by the Ancient Tamils. This book throws light on topics like Transcendentalism, Jainism and Buddhism (through Tamil works), Materialism, Ethics and Aesthetics. We hope this book become a source of interest for further research and understanding, as it enables the readers to broaden their understanding of the philosophical contributions of the ancient Tamils to the main stream intellectual tradition of Indian Philosophy as such. …
