The volumes of the Project on History of Science Philosophy and Culture in Indian Civilization aim to discover the central aspects of India's heritage and present them in an interrelated manner. In spite of their unitary look these volumes recognize the difference between the areas of material civilization and those of ideational culture. The project is not being executed by a single group of thinkers methodologically uniform or ideologically identical in their commitments. Rather contributions are made by different scholars of diverse ideological persuasions and methodological approaches. The project is marked by what may be called Methodological Pluralism. In spite of its primarily historical character this project both in its conceptualization and execution has been shaped by scholars drawn from different disciplines. It is the first time that an endeavour of such unique and comprehensive character has been undertaken to study critically a major world civilization. Using reconstructive ideas available in classical Indian original works this book makes a departure in the style of modern writings on Indian moral philosophy. It presents Indian ethics in an objective secular and wherever necessary critical manner as a systematic down to earth philosophical account of moral values virtues rights and obligations. It thereby refutes the claim that Indian philosophy has no ethics as well as the counter claim that it transcends ethics. It demonstrates that moral living proves that the individual his society and the world are really real and not only taken to be real for behavioral purposes as the Advaitins hold the self is amoral being a non agent Moksa is not a moral value and the Karmic theory because of involving belief in rebirth does not guarantee that the doer of an action is also the experiencer of its results contrary to what is commonly held and Indian ethics can sustain itself even if such notions are dropped. The author calls Indian ethics organismic because along with ethical concerns it also covers issues related to professions politics administration sex environment etc. Therefore in one format it is theoretical and applied normative and metaethical humanistic and non humanistic etc. of course within the limits of the then cognitive enquiry. The language of the book is simple and non technical. Its critical and reconstructive temper may provoke a researcher to think afresh on the issues it discusses. But the way it discusses them would make it intelligible and enjoyable even to a non specialist. 454 pp. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book offers a unique perspective on one of the deepest questions about the world we live in: is reality multi-leveled, or can everything be reduced to some fundamental 'flat' level This deep philosophical issue has widespread implications in philosophy, since it is fundamental to how we understand the world and the basic entities in it. Both the notion of 'levels' within science and their ontological implications are issues that are underexplored in the philosophical literature. The volume reconsiders the view that reality contains many levels and opens new ways to understand the ontological status of the special sciences. The book focuses on major open questions that arise at the foundations of cognitive science, cognitive psychology, brain science and other special sciences, in particular with respect to the physical foundations of these sciences. For example: Is the mental computational Do brains compute How can the special sciences be autonomous from physics, grounded in, or based on, physics and at the same time irreducible to physics The book is an important read for scientists and philosophers alike. It is of interest to philosophers of science, philosophers of mind and biology interested in the notion of levels, but also to psychologists, cognitive scientists and neuroscientists investigating such issues as the precise relation of the mental to the underlying neural structures and the appropriate approach to study it.…
