Abstract:
This paper primarily discusses the cosmologies of Vedic, Sankhya and Vedantic philosophies and the resultant impact the cosmologies have on the corresponding metaphysical views of the respective philosophical traditions. The paper begins with the mythological account of cosmogony in Vedic tradition followed by the dualist account of the cosmos in Sankhys and then finally the shift from cosmology to autology in Vedantic tradition i.e. its focus on the self as the centre piece of investigation.

Abstract:
This comparative study aims at juxtaposition of modern Western naturalistic evolutionism and the mostly similar attitude in the classic Indian philosophy in the shape of Sankhya’s cosmology in the context of their corresponding critiques by contemporary creationists and Advaita-Vedanta. The long and pointed polemics with Sankhya in the Brahmasutrabhasya by Šankaracharya (7th-8th centuries A.D.) is in the focus of this investigation along with numerous references to the Sankhya-karika by Isvarakrsna (5th century A.D.) as the basic text of the philosophical school criticized by its most powerful opponent. Comparing Western and Indian evolutionism reveals some very important differences to such a degree that the Indian species of the genus would be, in the author’s opinion, better identified as not evolutionism in the strict sense but as a “développisme” combining features of evolutionism with those of emanationism. As to Sankhya’s naturalism, it turns to be much more “sophisticated” than that, e.g., of Thomas Huxley or the so-called New Atheists because its “stuff” is more psychological than material. Nevertheless, crucial logical gaps remain the same in both cases (along with an antitheistic “faith” instead of rationalism), while their taking into account by opponents of naturalism offers a challenge for comparative philosophical theology.

Abstract:
En este artículo consideramos el concepto de la Revolución Cultural desde una perspectiva no convencional y enfatizamos que, en lo que respecta al concepto básico, la Revolución Cultural tiene especial relevancia para la sociedad moderna y puede concebirse como un esfuerzo colectivo para asegurar la elevación de la mente humana y las modalidades psíquicas como un todo. Nos esforzamos por resaltar la correspondencia del concepto de la Revolución Cultural con dos formas casi similares de profundización en las causas de las enfermedades que aquejan a la sociedad humana desde tiempos inmemoriales.La primera comparación se hace con los puntos de vista del filósofo moral y economista Adam Smith, que divide los sentimientos humanos en dos categorías principales, a saber: elementos más nobles y elementos más básicos y atribuye todas las enfermedades de la sociedad humana al último grupo de sentimientos. La segunda posición corresponde a la antigua filosofía india sankhya, que clasifica los modos de vida humanos en tres categorías: tamasika, rajasika y satvika, y mantiene los últimos dos modos responsables de todas las enfermedades que afligen la vida humana.Para eliminar las enfermedades de la sociedad humana, Smith establece el reemplazo de los sentimientos humanos más básicos por sentimientos más nobles, y para este fin, según la visión sankhya, se indica el inicio de un proceso de transición de los modos tamasika y rajasika al modo satvika. Una mirada más profunda revelaría el hecho de que tanto los puntos de vista de Smith y de la filosofía sankhya son, en esencia, los mismos: sentimientos más básicos de Smith comparables a los modos tamasika y rajasika, y sentimientos más nobles al modo satvika. Sin embargo, ni la filosofía de Smith ni la sankhya proporcionan ninguna guía para la transición eficaz de la psiquis humana al fin deseado. En este contexto el concepto de Revolución Cultural se vuelve relevante. El concepto, interpretado desde un punto de vista radicalmente diferente de la interpretación maoísta, y, por lo tanto, concebido como un proceso evolutivo en lugar de una revolución destructiva, puede permitirnos diseñar un proceso viable de transición de valores humanos y psíquicos desde los puntos de vista de Smith y la filosofía sankhya.AbstractIn this article we look upon the concept of the Cultural Revolution from an unconventional perspective and emphasize that so far as the basic concept is concerned, Cultural Revolution has special relevance for the modern society and it may be conceived as a collective endeavour to ensure uplift of human mind and psychic modes as a whole. Here we endeavour to highlight the correspondence of the concept of the Cultural Revolution to two almost similar ways to go into the depth of the causes of maladies afflicting human society from time immemorial.The first comparison is made with the views of the moral philosopher and economist Adam Smith who divides human sentiments into two major categories, viz. nobler elements and baser elements and attributes all maladies of human society to the later group of sentiments. The second view corresponds to the ancient Indian Sankhya Philosophy, which classifies human modes of living into three categories, viz. tamasika, rajasika and satvika, and holds the latter two modes responsible for all maladies that afflict human living.For removal, of, maladies from human society, Smith calls for replacement of the baser human sentiments by nobler sentiments, and to this end, according to Sankhya view indicates, the initiation of a process of transition from tamasika and rajasika modes to satvika mode. A deeper look would reveal the fact that both the Smithian and Snkhya views are, in essence, the same – baser sentiments of Smith comparable to tamasika and rajasika modes, and nobler sentiments to satvika mode. However, neither Smith nor Sankhya philosophy provide any guidelines for efficacious transition of human psyche to the desired end. In this context, the concept of the Cultural Revolution becomes relevant. The concept, interpreted from a radically different standpoint from Maoist interpretation, and therefore conceived as an evolutionary process rather than a destructive revolution, may enable us to device a viable transitional process of human values and psychic from both the Smithian and the Sankhya standpoints.

Disregarding of God or a skeptical state of mind, negativity, or conviction that human life is full of wretchedness, the teachings of transmigration of the soul and Karma (activity or deed), and a kind of dualism between soul and matter are common to Hindu-Sankhya reasoning, Jainism and Buddhism. In this way, the source of the rationalities of both was the same in spite of the fact that both of them made certain changes in it, the research method is documentary. The information is collected in the form of documents. Finally, the research findings show that both were the products of intellectual, spiritual, and social forces of their age and therefore, both stood up as revolts against the prevalent Brahmanic religion.

Abstract:
Introduction. In this paper, the formation of the ancient Indian philosophy has been studied and its connection to consciousness. The Indian philosophy has come a long way from its onset, in parallel with the Chinese and Ancient Greek philosophy. At the same time, the ideas of some of its branches and schools differ in a number of features. Purpose setting. By the example of the Sankhya school of philosophy, we have explored the evolution of the views of ancient Indian philosophers on the evolution of the Universe, nature and man. We have put particular emphasis on the concept of consciousness. Methodology and methods of the study. In Sankhya system, the fundamental Prakriti and Purusha principles are identified. Other elements are supplementary. Ancient philosophers laid special emphasis on the three vibrating gunas. These are sattva, rajas, and tamas. We have revealed the functional connections among the gunas. The way they interact, in balance or dominance, determines the entire variety of material and spiritual processes. The evolution of the Universe in the Sankhya interpretation is close to the scientific theory of the Big Bang. The development of nature can be traced through the complication of atoms starting from the influence of a stimulus on unconscious chaos. The result of human evolution is the emergence of consciousness derivatives: intellect, mind and I (Ego). This allows better understanding of the behavioral characteristics of an existing personality. Yoga complements Sankhya system and makes it possible to transform consciousness in a number of states. Results. The analysis was carried out using scientific articles and monographs relatively unknown in the Russian press. Cognitive development occurs in a spiral. The scientific theory of strings appeared two and a half millennia after the emergence of the gunas concept. We have made a number of analogies between ancient Indian gunas and contemporary string theory. And have substantiated the theory of consciousness not with quantum theory, but with a deeper string theory. The concept of consciousness is supported in line with the scientific paradigm of T. Kuhn. The leading ideas are the ideas about information of D. Chalmers and the physicist J. Wheeler. Conclusion. Thus, the phenomenon of consciousness has a silicon and biological basis. We insist on using the semantic concept of artificial consciousness instead of artificial intelligence. Therefore, between human consciousness and artificial consciousness there may be dangerous risks of dominance of the latter.

Abstract:
This paper is a comparative project between a philosopher from the Western tradition, Aristotle, and a philosopher from the Eastern tradition, Sankara. These two philosophers have often been thought to oppose one another in their thoughts, but I will argue that they are similar in several aspects. I will explore connections between Aristotle and Sankara, primarily in their theories of causation. I will argue that a closer examination of both Aristotelian and Advaita Vedanta philosophy, of which Sankara is considered the most prominent thinker, will yield significant similarities that will give new insights into the thoughts of both Aristotle and Sankara.

Abstract:
Using the sankofa archival praxis, this thesis seeks to recover the unknown periodicals of Quebec’s largest urban area and Canada’s second largest. This qualitative research examines 196 Black periodicals published in Greater Montreal, from 1934 to the present. As a case study of Black-controlled serialized literature it includes: journals, newspapers, magazines, directories, bulletins, and newsletters. This thesis seeks to capture, organize, and catalogue a comprehensive checklist of Montreal’s Black serials. Despite the scores of Black publications produced in the last seventy years, the vast majority of the 196 titles located are unknown to Black readers within Montreal, Quebec. While this thesis assumes that the silence of these documents is intricately linked to the marginalized status of Blacks within Canada as a whole, and Quebec in particular, it focuses upon the context of the serials’ evolution, their concomitant invisibility within the Black community of Montreal and the national and urban context of these documents. The research does not ask why this body of literature is unknown to the general populace, but rather, why Blacks themselves, as creators, that is, the Black owners, journalists, and editors of the serials, are unaware of the existence of these serials. This dissertation explores the extent to which four factors may have contributed to the invisibility of these serials in Canada and in particular in the unique setting of Montreal: language, ethnicity, orality and the treatment of documents.
À l’aide de la praxis archivistique sankofa, cette thèse a pour but de retracer les périodiques inconnus dans la plus grande zone urbaine du Québec. Ma recherche qualitative examine 196 périodiques destinés aux Noirs et publiés dans la région métropolitaine de Montréal, de 1934 à ce jour. Cette étude de cas portant sur des documents sérialisés contrôlés par des Noirs comprend des revues, des journaux, des magazines, des annuaires, des bulletins et des nouvelles. Cette thèse tente de saisir, d’organiser et de cataloguer une liste exhaustive de contrôle des séries d’imprimés puliés par des noirs dans la région de Montréal. Malgré la foule de publications pour Noirs produites au cours des soixantedix dernières années, la vaste majorité des 196 titres que j’ai répertoriés sont inconnus des lecteurs noirs à Montréal, au Québec. Bien que cette thèse assume que le silence de ces documents est étroitement relié au statut marginalisé des Noirs dans l’ensemble du Canada, plus particulièrement au Québec, je mettrai l’emphase sur le contexte de l’évolution des séries, leur invisibilité concomitante au sein de la communauté noire de Montréal, ainsi que le contexte national et urbain de ces documents. La recherche n’explique pas pourquoi cet ensemble de documents est inconnu du grand public, mais plutôt pourquoi les Noirs eux-mêmes, en tant que créateurs, soit les propriétaires, les journalistes et les éditeurs noirs des séries, ne soupçonnent pas l’existence de ces séries. Cette dissertation explore l’étendue des quatre facteurs qui ont contribué à l’invisibilité de ces séries au Canada et particulièrement dans le milieu unique de Montréal: la langue, l’ethnicité, l’oralité et le traitement des documents. fr

Abstract:
A tese tem por objetivo efetivar a análise e demonstração das estratégias discursivas através das quais Çaìkara, o célebre pensador do Hinduísmo medieval (circa 788-820 d.C.), formulou a doutrina monista do Advaita-ved Tnta, construindo para isso um discurso dialógico com relação às principais doutrinas dualistas e ritualísticas adversárias de seu tempo, dentre elas, respectivamente, o S TRkhya-Yoga-darçana e o Mémäàsä-darçana. A análise dos textos sânscritos de Çaìkara dedicados a interpretar as escrituras védicas segue os pressupostos da teoria do discurso, da semiótica de nivel fundamental e dos estudos de intertextualidade, e radica em dois eixos: (1) - o estudo da construção de um discurso monista, apesar das exigências irredutíveis das categorias binárias às quais se curvam a linguagem e o raciocínio humanos; e (2) - o exame dos mecanismos diversos de persuasão e argumentação constantes nos escritos do pensador, os quais constroem uma interpretação específica dos textos védicos ao mesmo tempo em que refutam pontos de vista outrora válidos na tradição sânscrita. A primeira parte da tese, intitulada \"A revelação do Um\", apresenta uma síntese da herança cultural que é pressuposta na leitura dos textos do pensador e uma análise semiótica da articulação, no nível fundamental, do conceito de Absoluto ou \"um-sem-segundo\", Brahman, conforme descrito nas Upaniñad e interpretado por Çaìkara. A segunda parte, intitulada \"Os percursos do dois\", investiga as estratégias discursivas e intertextuais por meio das quais o pensador consegue ressignificar e assimilar em sua doutrina monista o universo relativo e as categorias binárias e ternárias afirmadas em outras doutrinas de sua herança cultural. A tese visa a contribuir para a demonstração de que as teorias do discurso constituem instrumentos que auxiliam a elucidar os mecanismos com os quais a linguagem verbal consegue criar e expressar conceitos abstratos não apreensíveis no mundo dos fenômenos. O trabalho representa também um esforço para suprir uma lacuna da bibliografia brasileira, apresentando sob enfoque inédito fontes textuais relativos a uma vertente nuclear da cultura sânscrita.
The main purpose of this thesis is to analyse and demonstrate those discursive strategies through which Çaìkara, the famous philosopher of medieval Hinduism (circa 788-820 a.C.), has formulated the monistic doctrine of Advaita-vedänta, to which purpose he has elaborated a dialogical discourse in relation to some of the main dualistic and ritualistic opposing doctrines of his time: the Säàkhya-Yoga-darçana and the Mémäàsä-darçana, respectively. Our analysis of the sanskrit texts in which Çaìkara interprets the vedic scriptures is based on the theories of discourse, on the principles of the French school of Semiotics and also on studies of intertextuality. This inedit analysis intends to: (1) - analyse the inter-relation of concepts in the fundamental level of significance that can build a monistic discourse, in spite of those irreductible binary categories that govern human language and reasoning; (2) - examine those mechanisms of persuasion and argumentation which are constant in Çaìkara\'s writings and which help to build specific interpretations of the vedic scriptures, refuting at the same time the points of view of other doctrines. The first part of the thesis, entitled \"The revelation of One\", gives a synthesis of the cultural heritage which is pressuposed in the reading of Çaìkara\'s writings, and afterwards makes a semiotic analysis, on the fundamental level, of the concept of Absolute or \"one-without-a-second\", Brahman, according to the way it\'s given by the Upaniñad texts and interpreted by Çaìkara. In the second part of the thesis, entitled \"Paths of the Two\", are analysed some of those discoursive and intertextual mechanisms through which the thinker can re-signify and assimilate into his monistic doctrine the relative universe and those binary and ternary categories according to what was postulated by other doctrines of his cultural heritage. The thesis contributes to demonstrate that the theories of discourse are valid instruments in the process of analysis of those mechanisms through which verbal language can create and express abstract concepts which, at first, are not aprehensible in the world of phenomenae. The work has also the purpose of adding to brazilian bibliography, under an inedit approach, texts belonging to an important aspect of sanskrit culture.

Abstract:

Octavia Butler asked if black skin was so disruptive a force that the mere presence of it alters a story? In a post-colonial era, skin color remains a polarizing topic. While humans are still redefining perceptions about race, people across planet earth are opening up to the possibility of the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life. This paper explores how the acknowledgment of a galactic presence would transform perceptions of whiteness. The experiences of the best-selling author and proclaimed contactee, Whitley Strieber, are used as case studies to analyze if Amero-European ingrained bias toward melanin would influence the western world’s interactions with dark-skinned extraterrestrials species. The white male is portrayed as the prototypical sci-fi nerd in popular American culture; however, the themes and struggles present in science fiction remain deeply connected with those present in African American culture. Despite the presence of extraterrestrials in African centered tradition, Stieber's experience demonstrates that whiteness still holds influence on the dominant cultural position regarding alien contact. I will practice Sankofa to trace African centered histories and traditions designed for communicating with entities from different dimensions, realities or even planets that continue to perpetuate in African American culture. I argue that African American culture has been addressing aspects of reality unacknowledged by the western world. I demonstrate that elements of the cosmic, supernatural, extraterrestrial or superhuman continue to manifest in African centered culture. These continually dismissed observations get lost in a world where the European Enlightenment has led to a culture in which whiteness establishes itself as “a norm that represents an authoritative, delimited and hierarchical mode of thought” as Joe Kinechole notes, limiting Amero-European culture from fully embracing a world view that includes extraterrestrials. Whiteness changes as it interacts in a range of settings and this paper examines the role of whiteness in a galactic environment by exploring how whiteness navigates through alien spaces.

Nesta pesquisa, versaremos sobre a circulação dos provérbios pela oralidade e escrita, em formas orais, escritas, imagéticas e imaginárias, desde as sociedades africanas ao contexto da diáspora em países como o Brasil e o Haiti. Percebemos que os provérbios africanos têm significados múltiplos para além de conselhos e orientações. Eles podem ser verificados em objetos de arte, escritas, cantigas, louvações, imagens e imaginários literários como suporte de mensagem ou como influência para a criação estética e artística. Para falar sobre os provérbios como um instrumento de fluxo na Comunicação, tivemos a necessidade de realizar uma pesquisa direcionada ao passado, sem a preocupação de uma forma linear, baseado em um provérbio-símbolo, sankofa, que significa: “nunca é tarde para voltar e apanhar o que ficou atrás”. Sankofa nos ensina a sabedoria de olhar para trás, buscar algo que foi ignorado ou esquecido. É uma forma de recolher no passado, trazer ao presente e construir o futuro, tal como Janus, o Deus das mudanças e transições da mitologia romana, que aqui buscamos em uma perspectiva africana. Este é um trabalho de compreensão sobre os provérbios, e nesta travessia, unimos a Comunicação, pela estética, ao conjunto de observação da Paremiologia, a disciplina que estuda os provérbios e recursos fraseológicos e do estudo de imagens e imaginários literários. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
In this research, we study the circulation of African proverbs by oral and written means, in imagetic and imaginary forms, from African societies to the diaspora context in countries such as Brazil and Haiti. We realize that the African proverbs have multiple meanings, not intended only for advice and guidance. They can be seen in works of art, writing, music, praise, literary imagination and images as a support for a message or as an influence for aesthetics and artistic creation. To talk about proverbs as a communication flow instrument, we had the need for an inquiry directed to the past, but without the desire to follow a linear procedure, basing in a proverb-symbol, sankofa, which means: "it's never too late to go back and take what was behind". Sankofa teaches us the wisdom to look at the past and bring something that was ignored, forgotten, for the present in order to build the future, like Janus, the Roman god of change and transitions, whom we seek here in a African perspective. This work aims to understand the proverbs and, on this journey, we joined the Communication - through the Aesthetics - and Paremiology - the discipline that studies the proverbs and phraseological resources.

Abstract:
En 1965, un Afro-Américain visite, au Ghana, l’Akonedi Shrine de Larteh Kubease. Là, il est accueilli par la prêtresse du lieu qui effectue pour lui une divination lors de laquelle elle lui révèle la supposée identité de ses ancêtres esclaves, lui enseigne quelques rudiments du culte pratiqué au sanctuaire et le nomme «Chef des Akan d’Amérique». L’objectif de cette thèse est d’analyser la formation des réseaux transnationaux qui, depuis 1965, relient l’Akonedi Shrine à ses succursales américaines. Il s’agit d’étudier la manière dont la religion «akan» telle qu’elle est pratiquée dans le sanctuaire ghanéen a été adaptée par ses adeptes américains, intégrée à un nouveau champ religieux, devenant constitutive de revendications identitaires complexes
In 1965, during a trip to Africa, an African American visited the Akonedi Shrine of Larteh Kubease, Ghana. There, the priestess gave him a reading during which she told him the names of his enslaved ancestors, taught him elements of the religion practiced in the shrine and enstooled him as the “Chief of the Akan in America”. The aim of this dissertation is to study the formation of the transnational networks that, since 1965, are linking the Akonedi Shrine with various shrine houses in the United States and to analyze the way the “Akan” religion, as it is practiced in the Ghanaian sanctuary, has been adapted by American devotees, integrated into a new religious field and is today constitutive of complex identity constructions

Full text
Abstract:
Vehicle weaving describes the vehicle lane changes in areas between consecutive merge and diverge ramp junctions. During heavy traffic, vehicle weaving will slow down traffic, cause congestion, and increase the possibility of crashes. It is desirable to automatically capture the weaving information using camera videos in the weaving areas. The currently existing weaving area analysis is very tedious and labor-intensive. This report describes a novel system that uses the videos simultaneously captured at the entry and exit of the weaving area to find the number and percentage of vehicles from each lane on the entry to each lane on the exit. The system provides a convenient user interface, uses AI techniques to detect vehicles from camera videos, uses vehicle motion to identify the lanes, tracks and matches the vehicles at the entry and exit in the lane level, and presents the weaving analysis result in a user-friendly Sankey diagram. Compared to the other existing weaving analysis methods, this system can reduce the human work hours by at least 90%.

Abstract:
Large-scale survey data is widely used to study the intention to have a(nother) child. However, there are further opportunities to understand how these intentions are revised over the life course and the uncertainty surrounding them. We aim to further outline the importance of simultaneously considering change and uncertainty in fertility decision-making. Specifically, we identify uncertainty in the “probably not” and “probably yes” responses to questions on whether an individual intends to have a(nother) child, and compare the differences in individuals’ stated intention between survey waves. Using panel data from the Generations and Gender Survey (GGS) for Austria, France, Hungary, Italy, and Poland, we study short-term followed by long-term (overall) fertility intentions. First, descriptive analyses compare and visualise the prevalence of uncertainty intentions at first and second wave using Sankey diagrams. Next, multivariate analyses on transitions in intentions focus on partnership and employment context. The results reveal that for both short-term and overall intentions, four in ten respondents are uncertain about intending a (further) child. Further, one in two report a different intention between waves, with changes mainly occurring from one “probably” response to another (e.g., “probably not” to “probably yes”) or through a shift in increasing or lessening certainty (e.g., “probably yes” to “definitely yes”). The childless exhibit by far the greatest uncertainty and revision. Multivariate analyses show that partnership and employment are associated with changes and transitions in intentions. Our results also show that fertility intentions form along a spectrum of certainty—from “definitely not,” to “probably not,” to “probably yes,” to “definitely yes,” and finally to the birth of a child.
