This issue is an interdisciplinary Research Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences. For the Second Issue of Intellection we received more than forty numbers of research papers from academicians, teachers and research scholars from various universities and reputed colleges of our country. But we could not accommodate many research papers, as the same have not been recommended by the reviewers. Keeping in view, the interdisciplinary focus, the second issue of journal contains, carefully selected articles covering literature, social science and humanities. This volume would have never seen the light of the day without the contribution, co-operation and encouragement of various academicians directly or indirectly related to this journal and Barak Education Society .First of all, we owe a debt of gratitude to the contributors for their scholarly articles which have enriched the journal. We also record our indebtedness to the members of the Advisory Committee of the journal. They offered encouragement, valuable suggestions and immense co-operation to us. My personal thanks goes to the brilliant and respected academicians who gave their valuable time to review the papers submitted by the contributors. In course of time ‘Intellection’ has drawn attention of a section of the academicians with their valuable suggestion after the publication of the first issue which inspire us a lot for bringing some changes and modifications for the second issue. Again we also invite their precious advice and suggestions for this issue also.

Now, while reflecting on to Davidson‟s contribution in the realm of Philosophy of Action, Mind and Language, let us consider a sceptic argument of „Brain in a vat‟; and if we assume it to be true, then the very hypothesis of „Brain in a Vat‟ brings with it the illusion of experience of performing an action and having some beliefs. The main question that is addressed in this paper is that given this assumed - situation of „Brain in a Vat‟, what will be Davidson‟s response to it? And till what extent Davidson can dissipate such sceptical argument, in order to justify his theory. Introduction Donald Davidson‘s philosophical writings include a variety of essays that plays an important role in the realm of Philosophy of Action, Mind, and Language. His profound essay ‗Action, Reason, and Causes‘ (1963) set about a standard for the action theory wherein he begins by claiming that ‗reason rationalizes the action‘ and that this ‗rationalization‘ of an agent (characterized as having a pro-attitude and a belief) is a ‗species of causal explanation‘. In addition to this, Davidson‘s significant contribution to the Philosophy of Mind is his concept of ‗Anomalous Monism‘ which serves as a foundation of his philosophical work. Now, let us consider a sceptic argument of ‗Brain in a vat‘, a fiction so created via scientific technique, as discussed by René Descartes1 and Hilary Putnam. Just to assume, what if we are all brains in a vat, ‗being fed electrical impulses by computers [as operated by scientist] – impulses that alter our brain states and thereby create pseudo-experiences, and beliefs‘.2 If we regard this assumption to be true, then the hypothesis of ‗Brain in a Vat‘ brings with it the illusion of experience of performing an action and having some beliefs (that are actually being imposed by the scientist). Here, two positions are considered: one, Davidson‘s theory of Belief and Action and, other, the sceptical hypothesis of being a ‗Brain in a Vat‘. So considering Davidson‘s philosophical approach towards human actions, beliefs, and thoughts; in this paper, I intend to figure out his response to this assumed - situation of ‗Brain in a Vat‘ and the extent to which he can dissipate such sceptical argument, in order to justify his theory. * Email id : [email protected] Intellection: A Biannual Interdisciplinary Research Journal I have divided my paper in three main sections wherein section I is an overview of Davidson‘s philosophy followed up by section II which takes into account the exposition of ‗Brain in a vat‘ argument. And finally, section III which shows Davidson‘s dissipation of such a sceptical hypothesis. I. An Overview of Davidson’s Philosophy Davidson is accredited of presenting a suave philosophical account of interpreting human actions that depicts the very existence of human beings and so can be expressed as a means of self-expression.3 He maintained that every action that an agent performs (under a description) has a primary reason involved, inclusive

  • The Philosophy of Mystic Poet Hason Raja and a Folk Music Academy
    Hason Raja, the mystic poet & his philosophy An imaginary folk music academy at his birth place S U N A M G O N J , B A N G L A D E S H “What kind of hut I will build, While everything on barrenness.” Hason Raja (1854-1922) Hason Raja Folk Music Academy An imagery project based on the mystic poets’ philosophy in his birthplace Mallikpur Sunamgonj Name of author Ar. Sayed Ahmed 2005335019 June, 2012 Department of Architecture School of applied sciences Shahjalal University of Science & Technology Sylhet-3114, Bangladesh ABSTRACT Music is the most powerful formation of all arts. It is the ultimate destination for all other section of art, because all the arts meet to an end on music. Again the proletariat literature, the sub-alter literature and folklore music might have the most intimate relationship between the nature & human mind. The reason has its origin to reflection over human mind by the impact of nature. Water’s wave splashes to the shores creates some sound, breeze passing the branches of trees also left some sound, the rhyme of fountain, songs of birds, mysterious moonlit night, and so on. Actually music is the first artistic realization of human mind. Thus development of interaction through language is mostly indebted to music and the first music of human kind should be a folk one. That’s why the appeal of folk music is universal. From this context, my design consideration, the institute proposed for Hason Raja Sangeet (music) Academy is based on the rural-organic spatial order, use of indigenous building materials and musical education adapting the vastness of Haor (marshy) basin nature.

  • Introduction to the 'Message of the Upanishads'
    Swami Ranganathananda Introduction to The Message of the Upanishads THE CHARM AND POWER OF THE UPANI$ADS Table of Contents The Principal Upanisads...................................2 From Obscurity to Prominence...........................5 What the Upaniads Contain..............................7 Satyasya Satyam............................................8 Inquiry into the 'Within' of Nature.....................10 Science and Religion.....................................11 Sruti versus Smrti.........................................14 The Message of the Upanisads [Published by Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Mumbai] is a study, verse by verse, of three of the principal Upanisads, namely, Isha, Kena, and Katha. The first contains eighteen, the second thirty-five, and the third one hundred and nineteen verses. Though constituting a small portion of the total Upanisadic literature, they yet con- tain a lucid exposition of all the essential ideas of this im- mortal literature. Scholars are divided as to the date of the composition of the Upanisads. Many of them are agreed, however, that most of the principal Upanisads belong to the period prior to the advent of Buddha in the seventh century before Christ. There are over two hundred Upanisads, many of them sectarian in character and palpably post-Buddhistic and even post-Sank- aracarya. The Message of the Upanishads – Swami Ranganathananda The Principal Upanisads The principal Upanisads are accepted to be those which Shankaracarya (A.D. 788-820) chose to comment upon; they are ten in number and are enumerated in the Indian tradition as follows: Isha, Kena, Katha, Prasna, Mundaka, MandUkya, Taittirlya, Aitareya, Chandogya, and Brhaddranyaka. According to some scholars, Sankara also commented on an eleventh Upanisad, the Svetashvatara. In his commentary on the Brahma-Sutra, he refers to four more, namely, Kausi- taki, Jabala, Mahanarayana, and Paingala.

  • Christian and Hindu Swami Ranganathananda Moulding Our
    358 MARCH - APRIL 2011 Monastic Spirituality: Christian and Hindu Swami Ranganathananda Moulding Our Lives with Sri Ramakrishna’s Teachings Swami Bhuteshananda Divine Wisdom MASTER: "Once a teacher was explaining to a disciple: God alone, and no one else, is your own.' The disciple said: 'But, revered sir, my mother, my wife, and my other relatives take very good care of me. They see nothing but darkness when I am not present. How much they love me!' The teacher said: 'There you are mistaken. I shall show you presently that nobody is your own. Take these few pills with you. When you go home, swallow them and lie down in bed. People will think you are dead, but you will remain conscious of the outside world and will see and hear everything. Then I shall visit your home. "The disciple followed the instructions. He swallowed the pills and lay as if unconscious in his bed. His mother, wife, and other relatives began to cry. Just then the teacher came in, in the guise of a physician, and asked the cause of their grief. When they had told him everything, he said to them: 'Here is a medicine for him. It will bring him back to life. But I must tell you one thing. This medicine must first be taken by one of his relatives and then given to him. But the relative who takes it first will die. I see his mother, his wife, and others here. Certainly one of you will volunteer to take the medicine. Then the young man will come back to life.' "The disciple heard all this.

  • 1 EDUCATION New Dimensions PUBLISHERS' NOTE Swami
    EDUCATION New Dimensions PUBLISHERS' NOTE Swami Vivekananda declares that education is the panacea for all our evils. According to him `man-making' or `character-building' education alone is real education. Keeping this end in view, the centres of the Ramakrishna Math and the Ramakrishna Mission have been running a number of institutions solely or partly devoted to education. The Ramakrishna Math of Bangalore (known earlier as Sri Ramakrishna Ashrama) started the `Sri Ramakrishna Vidyarthi Mandiram' in 1943, as a hostel for college boys wherein the inculcating of moral and spiritual values in the minds of the inmates was given the primary importance. The hostel became popular very soon and the former inmates who are now occupying important places in public life, still remember their life at the hostel. In 1958, the Vidyarthi Mandiram was shifted to its own newly built, spacious and well- designed, premises. In 1983, the Silver Jubilee celebrations were held in commemoration of this event. During that period a Souvenir entitled ``Education: New Dimensions'' was brought out. Very soon, the copies were exhausted. However, the demand for the same, since it contained many original and thought-provoking articles, went on increasing. We are now bringing it out as a book with some modifications. Except the one article of Albert Einstein which has been taken from an old journal, all the others are by eminent monks of the Ramakrishna Order who have contributed to the field of education, in some way or the other. We earnestly hope that all those interested in the education of our younger generation, especially those in the teaching profession, will welcome this publication and give wide publicity to the ideas contained in it.

    Reminiscences of Swami Prabuddhananda India 2010 These precious memories of Swami Prabuddhanandaji are unedited. Since this collection is for private distribution, there has been no attempt to correct or standardize the grammar, punctuation, spelling or formatting. The charm is in their spontaneity and the heartfelt outpouring of appreciation and genuine love of this great soul. May they serve as an ongoing source of inspiration.

BELUR MATH, DIST: FAX: 033-2654-4346 HOWRAH Email: [email protected] WEST BENGAL : 711202, INDIA Website: www.belurmath.org April 27, 2015 Dear Virajaprana, I am glad to receive your e-mail of April 24, 2015. Swami Prabuddhanandaji and myself met for the first time at the Belur Math in the year 1956 where both of us had come to receive our Brahmacharya-diksha—he from Bangalore and me from Bombay. Since then we had close connection with each other. We met again at the Belur Math in the year 1960 where we came for our Sannyasa-diksha from Most Revered Swami Sankaranandaji Maharaj. I admired his balanced approach to everything that had kept the San Francisco centre vibrant. In 2000 A.D. he had invited me to San Francisco to attend the Centenary Celebrations of the San Francisco centre. He took me also to Olema and other retreats on the occasion. Once he came just on a visit to meet the old Swami at the Belur Math. In sum, Swami Prabuddhanandaji was an asset to our Order, and his leaving us is a great loss.
