http://www.aug.edu/langlitcom/humanitiesHBK/handbook_htm/modern_philosophy.htm

Extractions: Table of Contents Pragmatism and Secular Humanism Next Section Previous Section Four Western philosophical positions have been especially influential during the past one hundred years. One needs to keep in mind that these trends emerge in a climate characterized by the dominant rise of science, of industry and technology, and of a strong middle class. Prior to the industrial revolution, philosophy generally had been seeking an ultimate fulfillment of the Greek-based "metaphysical tradition." In the past century, philosophy has essentially rejected metaphysics and has developed a strong epistemological emphasis. No longer is philosophy concerned with describing how this world "ought to be" by the standards of some ideal realm of reality; now philosophy becomes concerned with how to change the situations in the world-as-it-is in order to bring about an increase of value for individuals and/or groups. Existentialism finds its contemporary roots in the thought of Friedrick Nietzsche and Soren Kierkegaard. Nietzsche's declaration that "God is dead" symbolizes the end of Western philosophy's metaphysical quest. No one has conveyed so poignantly a sense of the paradox that humans are at once utterly contingent and independent. Kierkegaard also focuses on each person's search for meaning, but unlike Nietzsche offers a "leap of faith" in God as the avenue through which such meaning can be discovered.

Buddhist Spirituality versus Materialism Essays on modern Buddhism, philosophy and Science.
http://home.btclick.com/scimah/

Extractions: Ever since the publication of The Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capra in 1975, interest has grown in the parallels between Buddhist philosophy and Western science. The essays on this site will give updates of the current state, not only of physics, but also computer science, biology, genetics, cosmology, memetics, evolutionary psychology, sociology and any other fields of relevance. Individual subjects are indexed alphabetically below, or in more general categories in the yellow column on the left. Alternatively, start with Arguments against Buddhism - the best way to understand the strengths of a philosophy is to attempt to refute it! Alphabetically arranged resources. 'This explanation of how to overcome our anger through practising patience is based on Guide to the Bodhisattva's Way of Life , the famous poem by the great Buddhist Master Shantideva. Though composed over a thousand years ago, this is one of the clearest and most powerful explanations of the subject ever written, and is just as relevant today as it was then.'
Modern History Sourcebook: Johann Gottfried Von Herder: Materials For The Philos
From the modern History Sourcebook, an introduction and selected passages out of this 1784 work by Herder.
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1784herder-mankind.html

Extractions: Materials for the Philosophy of the History of Mankind, 1784 [Halsall Introduction] Perhaps the most successful political philosophy of the modern era has been nationalism. Nationalism has taken on many forms - calls for cultural pride, liberal-nationalist assertions of the right to self-government, and chauvinistic claims of national superiority. In the 20th century, nationalist rhetoric has been used by right-wing fascists movements, but also Marxist "national liberation" movements. The central claims of nationalism are that: first the "people" in politics are best understood as a defined and bounded group with a common history, language and tradition; and, second, that a "nation" has a unique claim to be considered a legitimate political basis for sovereignty - greater than older bases such as "empire", "dynastic right", "theocracy". The great task of nationalists has always been to define what they mean by a given "nation". People are not "naturally" aware that they belong to a nation in the sense that they might be aware they belong to a family, clan, village, town, or locality. In almost every case, nationalists envision much broader boundaries, and have gone to considerable trouble to construct and defend these boundaries with particular interpretations of history.
The Crisis Of European Sciences
Excerpt from Husserl's basic methodological and epistemological work, The Crisis of European Sciences. Gives his interpretation of Locke, Berkeley, Hume and Kant.
http://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/ge/husserl.htm

Extractions: Edmund Husserl (1937) Source The Crisis of European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology (1954) publ. Northwestern University Press, Evanston, 1970. Sections 22 - 25 and 57 - 68, 53 pages in all. IT IS IN THE EMPIRICIST development, as we know, that the new psychology, which was required as a correlate to pure natural science when the latter was separated off, is brought to its first concrete execution, Thus it is concerned with investigations of introspective psychology in the field of the soul, which has now been separated from the body, as well as with physiological and psychophysical explanations. On the other hand, this psychology is of service to a theory of knowledge which, compared with the Cartesian one, is completely new and very differently worked out. In Locke's great work this is the actual intent from the start. It offers itself as a new attempt to accomplish precisely what Descartes's Meditations intended to accomplish: an epistemological grounding of the objectivity of the objective sciences. The sceptical posture of this intent is evident from the beginning in questions like those of the scope, the extent, and the degrees of certainty of human knowledge. Locke senses nothing of the depths of the Cartesian
LIFE AFTER DEATH, NIHILISM, AND MODERN PHILOSOPHY
LIFE AFTER DEATH, NIHILISM, AND modern philosophy. Yet almost all modern philosophers tell us that finite life can have meaning and value.
http://ws5.com/nihilism/

Extractions: click here for more information (Third Millennium Final Edition - corrections and revisions are continuing) Do you believe that life does end, or may end, at death? Everyone who believes that death may be the end should read the following essay from cover to cover. It represents a serious attempt to identify what may be a critical flaw in the foundation of many modern philosophies. It will help those who study Nihilism, Rationalism, Humanism, Agnosticism, and Existentialism, recognize questions that are probably already on their minds. It will address essential questions that you need to seek answers for. We will suggest that, whether they realize and admit it or not, anyone who does not believe in an "afterlife" is necessarily a "nihilist". In response to what appears to be a strong, intuitive, predisposition of readers to dismiss the conclusions of this essay as simply wrong, it has grown from a few pages to a lengthy, sometimes difficult to read, somewhat rambling, occasionally boring, text. For those who want a shorter introduction to our thoughts on nihilism, please read the summary of this essay by clicking here . Most readers will want to read the summary before proceeding with the detailed analysis. Those who choose to continue with this version may also find the summary interesting, as it includes some additional materials (the summary is a chapter in a book we publish, which we provide links to at the end

Borges - Influence: Andrés Useche
The philosophy behind Andr©s Useche's films and comics, and its relation to Jorge Luis Borges' literature.
http://www.themodernword.com/borges/borges_infl_useche.html

Extractions: In the 1998 Idle Mist film, the dream world and the "phenomenal" world of the dreamer converge, revealing "the secret drama" of existence, questioning the audience's perception of reality, as one of the "diverse intonations of a few metaphors," the history of this metaphors which constitute, according to Borges, universal history. This metaphor, of all waking being a dream, Useche intuited and developed on his early Vana Espuma work and later rediscovered in Shakespeare, The One Thousand and One Nights and all his other aforementioned favorites. Borges also found it in the Moslem Koran, the Jewish Genesis, the Cabalist Sepher Yetzirah Like in Shakespeare's Tempest , and "The Circular Ruins" by Borges, the characters of Idle Mist find they are "of the stuff that dreams are made of" and true to the name of Useche's production company: Paradox Arts, the work is both circular and open-ended. It also attests to the reversibility of the creative process but not as much as his subsequent feature film Waking Shadows in which an echo of Jung's theory of the unconscious and archetypes seems to represent the true driving force behind our actions and perceptions in the material world.

Project Theophrastus And Electronic Scholarship
An article on the role of electronic technology in the modern reconstruction of Theophrastus' writings and philosophy.
http://www.ceth.rutgers.edu/projects/theophrastus/theophr.htm

Extractions: Project Theophrastus The goal of Project Theophrastus is to develop an electronic resource based on the 1992 edition of the Fragments of Theophrastus, which was edited by an international team of scholars including William Fortenbaugh, Pamela Huby, Robert Sharples and Dimitri Gutas. This project is produced under the guidance of Professor Fortenbaugh of the Department of Classics, Rutgers University. Started in 1996, it was originally developed by Julia Lougovaya, Peter Parisi, and Wendell Piez, at CETH, with the technical assistance of Rick Anderson. It is currently pursued by Julia Logovaya. The Greek philosopher and polymath Theophrastus (ca. 371 - 287 B.C.E.) was a prolific scholar whose works had considerable influence in his own time and the centuries succeeding. A student of Plato and associate of Aristotle, Theophrastus became the second head of the Peripatetic School in Athens, and a central figure in Hellenistic intellectual culture: his authority spanned logic and metaphysics, physical and natural science, ethics, psychology, politics and rhetoric. With the exception, however, of a series of psychological profiles known as the Characters , two treatises on botany, and a number of smaller scientific writings, Theophrastus's work is attested only in fragmentary form, in quotes, paraphrases and references by a wide range of other authors.

Ibn Khaldun And Our Age | Turnabout
Paper by James Kalb giving a treatment of Khaldun's philosophy of society and its applicability in the modern day.
http://jkalb.org/publications/ibn_khaldun_and_our_age.php

Extractions: @import url(misc/drupal.css); Home A slightly edited version of the following essay appeared in issue 20 of The Scorpion Political thinkers engage our attention by their presentation of the particular features of their own time and place as well as the permanent qualities of man in society. We can read Aristotle and Hobbes for general lessons, or for the politics of the Greek city-state and of European society after the wars of religion. As times change so do the thinkers who interest us. Those of our own tradition normally interest us most since they illuminate the succeeding stages of our own social world. That world is always changing, however, sometimes in ways that are not fully continuous with its past but bring it closer in important respects to other civilizations. The conditions that are westernizing the world's East and South also affect Europe and its offspring. World dominion, which orientalized Rome, may end by doing so to us; if so, certain Eastern thinkers will become as relevant as those of the West for understanding the social setting in which we live.

Extractions: When the fully enlightened teachers do not appear and when the disciples have disappeared, the wisdom of the self-enlightened ones will arise completely without a teacher. - Naagaarjuna's Mulamaadhyamaka Kaarikaa (2nd century CE) Introduction Everything has a reason - or atleast that is the basic assumption underlying philosophy itself and the quest for that reason is the fundamental objective of the science. So the first thing to consider : the reason for developing this website. What causes even more concern is that there was hardly any protest voiced against the unfounded assertion of the columnist. But again there's little reason for surprise as the vast majority of 'educated' Indians have very little knowledge of the intellectual and spiritual underpinnings of their own culture. Due to the motivated brainwashing of the colonialists and their Indian successors - the Marxists - who have strategically well entrenched themselves in the institutes of both education and media, the modern Indian grows up viewing his own culture as "primitive and backward" and looks up to and apes the culture of the West, without realizing that such practice effectively renders him devoid of substance psychologically and gradually gives rise to an inferiority complex thus sapping his creative juices. Even more important it robs him of the benefits - cultural and spiritual - of belonging to a millennia old civilization. For if endurance can be used as a criterion to judge the vitality of a civilization, then the Indian civilization comes out with top marks as it has survived the ravages of time and often against insurmountable odds. While its age old peers - the Egyptian, the Mesopotamian, the Greek, the Roman, the Chinese civilizations - have all perished (in our view the Chinese civilization is also a thing of the past as its peoples have abandoned the teachings of Confucious and Lao Tze and embraced the ideology of Marx and Engels), the Indian Civilization still holds out against the onslaught of time, it inner flame burning pure and true.
