Valpey The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series Series Editors Andrew Linzey Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics Oxford, UK Priscilla N. Cohn Pennsylvania State University Villanova, PA, USA Associate Editor Clair Linzey Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics Oxford, UK In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the ethics of our treatment of animals. Philosophers have led the way, and now a range of other scholars have followed from historians to social scientists. From being a marginal issue, animals have become an emerging issue in ethics and in multidisciplinary inquiry. Tis series will explore the challenges that Animal Ethics poses, both conceptually and practically, to traditional understandings of human-animal relations. Specifcally, the Series will: • provide a range of key introductory and advanced texts that map out ethical positions on animals • publish pioneering work written by new, as well as accomplished, scholars; • produce texts from a variety of disciplines that are multidisciplinary in character or have multidisciplinary relevance.

  • 1 Post-Canonical Buddhist Political Thought
    Post-Canonical Buddhist Political Thought: Explaining the Republican Transformation (D02) (conference draft; please do not quote without permission) Matthew J. Moore Associate Professor Dept. of Political Science Cal Poly State University 1 Grand Avenue San Luis Obispo, CA 93407 805-756-2895 [email protected] 1 Introduction In other recent work I have looked at whether normative political theorizing can be found in the texts of Early or Canonical Buddhism, especially the Nikāya collections and the Vinaya texts governing monastic life, since those texts are viewed as authentic and authoritative by all modern sects of Buddhism.1 In this paper I turn to investigate Buddhist normative political theorizing after the early or Canonical period, which (following Collins2 and Bechert3) I treat as beginning during the life of the Buddha (c. sixth-fifth centuries BCE) and ending in the first century BCE, when the Canonical texts were first written down. At first glance this task is impossibly large, as even by the end of the early period Buddhism had already divided into several sects and had begun to develop substantial regional differences. Over the next 2,000 years Buddhism divided into three main sects: Theravada, Mahāyāna, and Vajrayāna. It also developed into numerous local variants as it mixed with various national cultures and evolved under different historical circumstances. To give just one example, the Sri Lankan national epic, the Mahāvaṃsa, is central to Sinhalese Buddhists’ understanding of what Buddhism says about politics and very influential on other Southeast Asian versions of Buddhism, but has no obvious relevance to Buddhists in Tibet or Japan, who in turn have their own texts and traditions.

West Bengal India Here we find a collaboration of history as well as politics which is not rather suitable to the modern context. In Sanskrit dramas we find ‘Rasha’ is the more dominant while in Mudrarakhasa is a heroic play. A play deals with various actions but here we find from one act th to 7 act ‘Bir Rasha’ only is the main flow. The great diplomat Chanakya never participated in any battle or did any blood sheed to intensity ‘Bir Rash’ in this play – Here we find there is no hero or heroine and there is no action of love. Only the wife of Chandan Das appeared for a movement in 7th act and though the wife of Amartya rakhas was abducted and sheltered at the house of Chandan Das, they did not directly utter anything. No Vidushak was there to create any fun like other plays. The presence of Vidushak is not necessary during dramatic excitement. Here one character is interingled with another, like Amartyarakhas is the rival of chanakya. Both of them are great diplomat. Both wants their rival to be perished.

  • The Decline of Buddhism in India
    The Decline of Buddhism in India It is almost impossible to provide a continuous account of the near disappearance of Buddhism from the plains of India. This is primarily so because of the dearth of archaeological material and the stunning silence of the indigenous literature on this subject. Interestingly, the subject itself has remained one of the most neglected topics in the history of India. In this book apart from the history of the decline of Buddhism in India, various issues relating to this decline have been critically examined. Following this methodology, an attempt has been made at a region-wise survey of the decline in Sind, Kashmir, northwestern India, central India, the Deccan, western India, Bengal, Orissa, and Assam, followed by a detailed analysis of the different hypotheses that propose to explain this decline. This is followed by author’s proposed model of decline of Buddhism in India. K.T.S. Sarao is currently Professor and Head of the Department of Buddhist Studies at the University of Delhi. He holds doctoral degrees from the universities of Delhi and Cambridge and an honorary doctorate from the P.S.R. Buddhist University, Phnom Penh.

Folk culture and literature is confined within a limited areas but its impact on the modern literature is immense. Manoj Das mainly focuses on the folk tales of Odisha and follows the folk tale styles of story writings.

Hence it is appropriate to discuss the nature and feature of folk culture, folk form or folk literature to connect them to fiction. Folk culture belongs to the antiquity past but is still alive in the present. When we go through the Vedanta, Astadasapurana and Mahabharata we find elements of folk culture. The Mahabharata and Ramayana are the combination of a lot of folk tales. Folk forms like folk songs, tales, theatre, rituals are generally focused on a particular event of a particular place. It is confined to a limited area taking its cultures, traditions, customs and ways of life. Folk literature is generally a literature of an imaginary world which is far from reality.
