  • RELIGION Vis-A-VIS MYSTICISM a Quest for the Meaningfulness of Life
    Journal of Dharma 36, I (January-March 2011), 3-14 RELIGION VIs-A-VIS MYSTICISM A Quest for the Meaningfulness of Life Saju Chackalackal" 1. Introduction Human quest for the ultimate understanding of reality seems to be unquenchable. The rigour and ingenuity with which various intellectual disciplines have been formed and perfected over the centuries testify to the human ability to soar higher and higher, accessing the ever-deeper and unfathomable dimensions of reality. The undying and ever-stronger determination and commitment on the part of seekers to unravel the inner recesses of reality against the deep and profound dimensions of the same reality that challenge human inquisitiveness continue to elicit renewed spirit and novel strategies. It would be preposterous to restrict this process exclusively to those rigorous scientific disciplines and the studies that they carry out. In fact, every human attempt is capable of taking us a step closer to the understanding of reality. 2. Scientific Approaches vis-a-vis Religious Quest for Meaning The application of logical reasoning in almost all human endeavours and its apparent success in most of such disciplines, especially in delivering instant practical solutions to human needs, have erroneously made it synonymous with the expressions 'scientific', 'systematic', 'true', etc. This equation wrongly assumes that human intelligibility is exclusively restricted to logical reasoning, although there are many other dimensions to it. It is unfortunate that anything that does not fit into the mould of logical reasoning is rejected as farce or even erroneous. It is interesting to note that Immanuel Kant, a philosopher who tried to draw the limits of human knowing or rational capacities, was in search of true knowledge.

  • 1 BLOCK-1 INTRODUCTION the Renaissance
    BLOCK-1 INTRODUCTION The Renaissance (during the 14th-16th centuries) and the Enlightenment (1650-1800) in Europe heralded major changes in culture, art, philosophy, science, and mathematics. The Renaissance has usually been associated with advances in literature, architecture, humanism, and a world economy. In French, Renaissance translates as “rebirth,” meaning that this was a Golden Age of artistic, cultural, and intellectual thought and production. Some famous people of this period include William Shakespeare, Amadeus Mozart, Leonardo da Vinci and Nicolaus Copernicus. The period of Enlightenment was a period of discovery, but is generally limited to the realm of science, mathematics, and technology. Logic and reason reigned as thinkers became convinced that society and the natural world were like a giant machine. The scientific method, which relied on the notion of objective observation leading to verifiable conclusions, spurred developments in astronomy, philosophy, medicine, physiology, and chemistry. The block serves as an introduction to the course on “Modern Western Philosophy.” It consists of 4 units. Unit 1, “Introduction to Modern Philosophy,” is a succinct introduction to the background to and major trends of modern philosophy. It is a brief survey that examines modern philosophical developments in Western Europe. Its purpose is to give students a background for more in-depth study in philosophy and the history of modern ideas. Unit 2, “Renaissance,” provides an overview of the Renaissance and the impact it has had in the development of Western Philosophy. Quite often we find that the philosophy of a given time is related to the culture from which it arises. Hence if we wish to understand the period of ‘Modern Western Philosophy,’ we would need to be familiar with the prevailing culture of the Renaissance.

  • Culture of Life
    Journal of Dharma 30, 1 (January-March 2005), 3-12 Editorial CULTURE OF LIFE Culture is the sum total of attitudes and perspectives, behaviour patterns and adopted standards, views and ways of life that envelop the entire gamut of reality through the interpretation and involvement of human beings for the sake of an enhanced state of existence at all levels. In order to have a culture, it is essential that life – in all its forms – is accorded respect and reverence. Among various forms of life, because of its uniqueness in terms of self-consciousness and the ability to establish lasting, meaningful, and purposeful relationships, human life has a prime place. In fact, any culture presupposes human existence: only human beings can set off a culture; for devoid of humanity’s central role along with its specific emphasis on the enhancement of human life, no culture would be worth the name. Although we can identify a symbiotic relationship between human life and culture, the central role of life, especially human life, cannot be overlooked. The aim of humanity as a whole must be to evolve a culture of life, a situation where all would subscribe to a positive view of life and shape a creative way of life, culminating in the enhancement of both life and culture. It is true that human beings have been involved both in the acts of destroying and enhancing life in various forms. However, despite the destructive activities initiated by many a member of the human species, nature, by its own ways, and in and through the dynamic, conscious, affirmative, and cooperative involvement of the majority of human beings, has been maintaining various cultures of life all through the human history.

BOOK NOTICES The intention of these book notices is very simple: to draw attention to new spirituality books that could be of interest to readers of Studies in Spirituality. Henk Rutten, the librarian and information manager of the Titus Brandsma Institute, lists about sixty titles with short descriptions. They are not meant to be comprehensive and in-depth book reviews. Arblaster, John, & Rob Faesen (Eds.), Mystical Anthropology: Authors from the Low Countries, Basingstoke: Routledge/Taylor & Francis, 2016 (Contemporary Theological Explorations in Christian Mysticism), 240 pages, ISBN: 9781472438034. The question of the ‘structure’ of the human person is central to many mystical authors in the Christian tradition. This book focuses on the specific anthropology in a series of key authors in the mystical tradition in the medieval and early modern Low Countries. Their view is fundamentally different from the anthropology that has commonly been accepted since the rise of Modernity. This book explores the most important mystical authors and texts from the Low Countries including: William of Saint-Thierry, Hadewijch, Pseudo-Hadewijch, John of Ruusbroec, Jan van Leeuwen, Willem Jordaens, Hendrik Herp, Arnhem Mystical Sermons, and the Evangelical Pearl. The most impor- tant aspects of mystical anthropology are discussed: the spiritual nature of the soul, the inner-most being of the soul, the faculties, the senses, and crucial metaphors which were used to explain the relationship of God and the human person. Two contribu- tions explicitly connect the anthropology of the mystics to contemporary thought.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Francis X. Clooney, SJ R. Brad Bannon Apophatic Measures: Toward a Theology of Irreducible Particularity Abstract Apophatic Measures: Toward a Theology of Irreducible Particularity is a work of constructive comparative theology examining select writings of akara (Eighth Century, India) and Nicholas of Cusa (Fifteenth Century, Germany). It argues that, for akara and Cusa, apophasis does not culminate in what Michael Sells calls a “semantic event,” but instead in a sensual event. For each, negation removes intellectual distractions, awakening one to a heightened state of sensual attentiveness. For akara, this is observed in the embodied encounter wherein a teacher incarnates Vednta scripture to reveal “This Self is Brahman” (Mkya Upaniad 2).
