Abstract:

As a Religious Studies and Humanities: Interdisciplinary Studies in Culture major, I have noticed several striking similarities between South Asian religious philosophies and Continental philosophy. However, this also brought my attention to the severe lack of representation of South Asian philosophies. I began to see the resonances with Jainism and Jean-Paul Sartre’s Existentialism is a Humanism. Therefore, my thesis explores the similarities between atheism, subjectivity and responsibility as common concepts between Sartrean Existentialism and Jainism.

Mehta, Venu Vrundavan. "An Ethnographic Study of Sectarian Negotiations among Diaspora Jains in the USA." FIU Digital Commons, 2017. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/3204.

Abstract:

This thesis argued that the Jain community in the diasporic context of the USA has invented a new form of Jainism. Sectarian negotiations are the distinguishing marks of the diaspora Jain community and their invented form of Jainism. Based on ethnographic study that is, interviews and observations conducted at four different sites (Jain temples/communities) from June-August 2016, the thesis examined the sectarian negotiations among the diaspora Jain community in the USA and the invented Jain tradition that is resulting from these negotiations. The central questions of the research on which this thesis is based were: 1) what are the levels, processes and results of sectarian negotiations within the Jain diaspora community in the USA, and 2) what is the nature and characteristic of the new form of Jainism, the invented tradition; and how do Jains in the USA experience and use it.

Abstract:

Cette étude reconstitue la théorie de la connaissance d'Akalaṅka, philosophe jaina digambara qui vécut en Inde au VIIIe S. Après J. -C. (720-780). Elle se fonde sur une édition critique préliminaire et une traduction du Laghı̄yastraya d'Akalaṅka et du Syādvādabhūṣaṇa, commentaire d'Abhayacandra (XIIIe s. ). Définissant le moyen de connaissance valide (pramāṇa) comme la connaissance certaine qui se connaît elle-même en même temps que son objet, Akalaṅka n'intègre pas à cette définition la fiabilité dans le domaine empirico-pratique. En effet, une connaissance acquise par des moyens empiriques est susceptible, selon le point de vue adopté, de décevoir le sujet, car elle n'a pas à elle seule la capacité de rendre compte adéquatement d'un état de choses. Seul l'omniscient peut connaître adéquatement une chose, car tous les étants s'entr'expriment. Dans la sphère empirico-pratique, la plus haute connaissance ne s'atteint que par des succédanés dont le parangon est la septuple prédication (syādvāda) laquelle ne contredit pourtant pas la possibilité de l'omniscience : elle s'applique exclusivement aux énoncés proférés d'un point de vue empirico-pratique. En vertu de la distinction entre ces deux ordres de connaissance, Akalaṅka propose une double architectonique des moyens de connaissance valide, qui fait opérer un glissement à la connaissance sensorielle : tandis qu'elle relève stricto sensu du moyen de connaissance indirect (parokṣa) parce qu'elle n'est pas une connaissance qui met uniquement en jeu l'âme, contrairement à l'omniscience, la clarté qui la caractérise permet toutefois de la tenir, au plan de la réalité empirico-pratique. Pour une forme de perception (pratyakṣa)
This study reconstructs the knowledge theory of Akalaṅka, a Jaina Digambara philosopher who lived in India during the 8th century C. E. (720-780). It is based on a preliminary critical edition and a translation of Akalaṅka's Laghı̄yastraya and of Abhayacandra's commentary thereupon, entitled Syādvādabhūṣaṇa (13th century). While defining the means of knowledge (pramāṇa) as the cognition which knows itself and its object, Akalaṅka doesn't consider reliability in the empirico-practical realm as an element of that definition: a cognition which is obtained by empirical means can deceive the cogniser, according to the viewpoint, hecause such a cognition alone is not able to explain perfectly how things really are. Only the omiscient one can know a thing in its entirety and as it really is, for all things and beings express one another. At the empirico-practical level, the highest knowledge is merely attained thanks to substitutes whose best instance is the sevenfold predication (syādvāda) ; but the syādvāda doesn't cancel the possibility of omniscience, because it applies exclusively to statements uttered from the empirico-practical standpoint. In accordance with the distinction between these two orders of knowledge, Akalaṅka propounds a double architectonics of the means of knowledge, which causes a conceptual shift in the sensuous cognition: whereas, strictly speaking, this cognition comes under the means of indirect knowledge (parokṣa) because it doesn't involve solely soul, unlike omniscience, nevertheless the clarity which constitutes its mark allows us to consider it as a kind of perception (pratyakṣa) at the empirico-practical level

Abstract:

The city of Palitana, India, has become the first region known to legally install de facto meat bans, essentially making Palitana a vegetarian city by law. These legal steps seem to be the direct result of social pressure put on local legislators in the form of a mass hunger strike performed by local Jain monks. This thesis is aimed at discussing the background of this case, its connections to a broader general discussion of moral and ethical vegetarianism, and arguments in favor of and against the legal installment of a meat ban in the Palitana case. It is concluded that although the meat ban is ideologically and theoretically speaking ethically justifiable and defensible it is in practice, at least in its current form, not ethically desirable.

Full text

Abstract:

L’œuvre de Banārasīdās (1586-1643), marchand et poète jaina actif dans la région d’Agra, s’appuie sur la pensée du maître digambara Kundakunda (c. IIIe s. de notre ère) pour chanter la véritable nature du soi, intrinsèquement pur, réalité suprême d’un point de vue absolu (niścaya-naya). La condition laïque de Banārasīdās l’oblige pourtant à envisager aussi la religion d’un point de vue conventionnel (vyavahāra-naya), aidé en cela par des échelles de progression spirituelle ménagées par la doctrine jaina et décrites notamment par Nemicandra (Xe siècle). Il est intéressant de suivre en diachronie l’articulation entre les deux points de vue, depuis le Samayasāra, ouvrage fondateur de Kundakunda, jusqu’à Śrīmad Rājacandra, un saint personnage de la fin du XIXe siècle, en s’attardant particulièrement sur les membres du mouvement Adhyātma dont Banārasīdās a été l’un des plus brillants promoteurs
The works of Banārasīdās (1586-1643), a Jain merchant and poet active in the region of Agra, is largely based on the thought of the Digambara philosopher Kundakunda (c. third century). The latter invited to search for the true nature of the self seen as the only reality from an absolute point of view (niścaya-naya). The layman condition of Banārasīdās obliged him to consider also his own religion from a conventional point of view (vyavahāra-naya). He was helped by his discovery of the spiritual scales prepared by the Jain doctrine and described in detail by Nemicandra (tenth century). It is rewarding to look at the articulation between the two points of view in a historical perspective, from the Samayasāra, the major work of Kundakunda, up to Śrīmad Rājacandra, a holy layman of the late nineteenth century, with a particular focus on the members of the Adhyātma movement whose Banārasīdās was one of the most successful instigators

Burgess, Sarah Isabel Helen. "Jaina and post-normal perspectives on uncertainty in climate change mitigation." Thesis, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/1828/2421.

Full text

Abstract:

I examine uncertainty in climate change mitigation using the Jaina theory of reality, anekdntavada, and post-normal science, focussing on carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS). Aneknntavada reveals all conceptual knowledge, not just science, as reductionist. Traditional science is ekanta, failing to acknowledge its reductionism, and this has led to incautious and contextually inappropriate application of scientific results. However, through Jaina principles and post-normal methodology, we can avoid scientific and technological ekdntavadism. For example, we must ensure "continuous iterative control" is possible in any CCS project. Accordingly, geological and mineral carbonate storage are preferable to oceanic storage. The IPCC report on CCS is not a post-normal document, since only scientific and technical experts prepared it. This is not necessarily a criticism: the report could be an expert input preceding post-normal dialogue. However, since values enter scientific undertakings early on, a broader community of stakeholders should perhaps have prepared the Special Report.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis deals with the topic of the Socratic question as a basis of the care for one's soul in Patocka's texts within the period from 30th to 50th years of the 20th century. This topic is here divided into three larger coherent units. The first part deals with the Patocka's understanding of Socratic care for one's soul as a historical moral self-creation of man having a character of negatively oriented transcension, which is not determined by ideas, but associated in its way of distance from objectivity with motive of knowing unknowing about the last good. The second part of this thesis deals with Patocka's comprehending of Plato as a creator of metaphysical thinking, in which core stands this negatively oriented experience of Socratic moral reversal. Plato, however, this experience of originally unobjectivated horizon according to Patocka's interpretation objectivates as the world of eternal ideas. Patocka as a central interpretative motive of this experience inserts in his own interpretation of Plato the term of Being inspired by Heidegger, which is very close to Plato's Idea of Good laying beyond all divides of essence (ἐπέκεινα τῆς οὐσίας). The last part of this thesis concerns with Patocka's own attempt to understand Plato's Idea by unobjective means. Although thus interpreted Idea is relieved of...

Full text

Abstract:

Widely known definition of pedagogy as a science of education, which is a process of intentional action on the individual, doesn't accurately represent the true substance of upbringing and education according to Jan Patočka, one of the most important Czech philosopher. He asks for fundamental questions about the nature of education and their targets. Education is the foundation of humanity itself for him and it is essentially connected to philosophy. Primarily the education is the education to humanity for Patočka. It is about education, which is interpreted as a care of the soul, of the soul opened to the outside world. It should lead to awareness, it should be determined by a kind of moral idea and finally it makes us human. Patočka criticizes purely scientific and theoretical education full of positivist utilitarianism and POLYMATHIA. On the contrary, he puts the process of education and training to the field of the natural world, the world of human experience in which a person has to carry out his options and scheduling its life. The philosophy helps to orient in the natural world. Thus the education is the essence of philosophy. The thesis deals with the pedagogical and educational moments, which can be seen from Patočka's phenomenological philosophy, and it deals also with analysis of the...

Abstract:

Comparison of Philosophies of Jan Ámos Komenský and René Descartes The aim of this work is comparison of philosophies of Jan Ámos Komenský and René Descartes based on their essential works, i.e."Labyrint světa a ráj srdce" (The Labyrinth of the World and the Paradise of the Heart) and "Úvahy o první filozofii" (Meditations on First Philosophy), in which God's existence and the difference between the human soul and body are proved. The philosophy of both contemporaries originated in the 17th century on the background of the Thirty Years' War and the Counter-Reformation. The rationalism of René Descartes, which starts Cartesian thinking, seems to be substantially different from the philosophy of Komenský based on Neoplatonism and Christianity. In the thought of Descartes analysis, mathematical operationalism, is principal, whereas Komenský synthesizes and puts the whole together. The first chapter of the thesis deals with the lives, period and works of Komenský and Descartes. It is possible to find significant similarities in their life stories. The second chapter deals with the interpretation of "The Labyrint of the World and the Paradise of the Heart" and the interpretation of "Meditations of First Philosophy", in which God's existence and the difference between the human soul and body are proved....

Abstract:

The work is focused on the evolution of Patočka's conception of movements of the human existence throughout his thoughts. My aim is to show sources of this conception, its explicite expressions and their structure and finally the meaning of this conception for the human life and its status in Patočka's whole-life philosophical project, all this by the analysis of three metodologically defined periods of Patočka's work. The inevitable past of this kind of rethinking of Patočka's conception is dealing with the question of succesion of his two great teachers, Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger,and showing, that his conception of movements of the human existence can't be explained simply from the polarity of uncritical bulilding on them, neither the complete refusing them. Also I would like to show the conceptional kinship with other thinkers of western philosophical tradition, whose selection is selective, but in my opinion meaningful. I also hope, that this rethinking of the conception of movements of the human existance will show the place, which belongs to Patočka's thougt in the western philosophical tradition and, first of all, it's meaning for human life. Key words Phenomenology, movement, existence, philosophy of history, authenticity

Abstract:

The dissertation thesis Collected Works of Jan Patočka as an Editorial Problem deals with both the samizdat and the printed versions of the collected works of Czech philosopher Jan Patočka (1907 - 1977) and other domestic as well as foreign editions of his work. The Archival Collection of Jan Patočka's Work emerged as the side product, to some extent uncoordinated and intuitive, of the sorting of the author's legacy in the years 1977 - 1989. Nevertheless, the 27 volumes of this unpublished edition represent a fully-fledged attempt to organize a critical edition of Patočka's collected works. At the end of the 1980's, an exile edition was intended, as the outcome of the cooperation of domestic, exiled and foreign community of researchers. The post-revolution Collected Works of Jan Patočka have been published since 1996 and, contrary to the previous series, represent a re-arranged and amended edition. The paper follows the process of scientific reflection, which has accompanied the edition of Patočka's works (both edition series were assembled by the same editorial team of Patočka's disciples.) We describe the use of thematic, chronological and other criteria in the course of the organization of the collected works, the transformation and scope of editorial commentaries, especially when dealing with the areas...
