External Objects Do Not Exist Idealism, in its broadest sense, came to encompass everything that was not materialism, which included so many different types of positions that the term lost any hope of univocality. Idealism meant "idea-ism," frequently in the sense Plato's notion of "ideas" ( eidos) was understood at the time, namely ideal types that transcended the physical, sensory world and provided the form ( eidos) that gave matter meaning and purpose. Yogaacaara tends to be misinterpreted as a form of metaphysical idealism primarily because its teachings are taken to be ontological propositions rather than epistemological warnings about karmic problems. turtlehill.org /uttara/lust.html

Hidu Samrajya Dinotsav - Page 1 The greatest contribution which Shivaji made to the freedom struggle of Hindusthan lay in the fact that he infused in it the right kind of national idealism. The occasion holds up for the HIndu people inspiring lessons for their future march - perhaps unequalled by any other single event during the past 3-4 centuries of their history. According to Hindu calendar, the day was Jyeshtha Shuddha Trayodashi of Aananda Samvatsara of the Shalivahana Era 1596 (or Vikrama Era 1731). hindunet.org /festivals/hidu_samrajya_dinotsav/page1.htm   (174 words)

INDIA: Gandhi Idealism and Hindu Fundamentalism Still At Odds Gandhi Idealism and Hindu Fundamentalism Still At Odds Gandhi was shot dead at a prayer meeting on Jun 30, 1948 by Nathuram Godse, who like most Hindu chauvinists to this day, blame him and his philosophy of non-violence for the partition of the sub-continent into Muslim Pakistan and Hindu majority India immediately before independence. In fact, it was Savarkar who was a staunch proponent of the idea that India consisted of two 'nations' -- Hindu and Muslim. www.ipsnews.net /africa/interna.asp?idnews=25357   (1025 words)

William Adam The distinguished leaders of the Brahmo Somaj nurtured and propagated what became, in effect, a 'school of thought', which flowered into the famous Bengal Renaissance, a great burst of modern, yet distinctively Indian political theory, idealism and poetry. But in 1828 its Hindu supporters finally chose to create a new Unitarian form of Hinduism, Brahmo Somaj, leaving behind Unitarian Christianity. At the time Adam regretted that Rammohun Roy and his Hindu friends chose a Unitarian Hindu faith in preference to Unitarian Christianity. www.uua.org /uuhs/duub/articles/williamadam.html   (1025 words)

Max Weber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Weber's other contributions to economics were several: these include a (seriously researched) economic history of Roman agrarian society, his work on the dual roles of idealism and materialism in the history of capitalism in his Economy and Society (1914) which present Weber's criticisms (or according to some, revisions) of some aspects of Marxism. Next, Weber analyses the Hindu religious beliefs, including asceticism and the Hindu world view, the Brahman orthodox doctrines, the rise and fall of Buddhism in India, the Hindu restoration, and the evolution of the guru. Weber's work on the sociology of religion started with the essay The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism and continued with the analysis of The Religion of China: Confucianism and Taoism, The Religion of India: The Sociology of Hinduism and Budhism, and Ancient Judaism. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Max_Weber   (1025 words)

Glossary of People: Sc Schelling offered a "philosophy of nature" and "transcendental idealism" in which he was eventually, explicitly led to the conclusion that only faith provides the necessary unity of subject and object for knowledge of truth. Schopenhauer spent the following winter in Weimar with Goethe where he was introduced to the Hindu scriptures by the Orientalist Friedrich Majer. Schelling was by inclination more of a poet than a philosopher, but in contrast to Fichte he asserted the existence of the material world outside thought. www.marxists.org /glossary/people/s/c.htm   (2500 words)

Indian Philosophy Among the main classical schools of Indian thought are (1) the so-called orthodox schools of Hindu philosophy, which include Exegesis (Mimamsa), Vedanta and its numerous subschools, Atomism (Vaisesika), Logic (Nyaya), Analysis (Samkhya), and Yoga; and (2) the Buddhist (so-called nonorthodox) schools of Madhyamika, Buddhist Idealism (Yogacara), and Abhidharma (which includes numerous subschools). Indian philosophy of the later classical and modern periods (1200 to present) may be distinguished from most Indian religious and spiritual thought. Indian philosophy, expressed in the Indo-European language of Sanskrit, comprises many diverse schools of thought and perspectives and includes a substantial body of intellectual debate and argumentation among the various views. www.connect.net /ron/indianphilosophy.html   (2500 words)

The Crisis of the modern World, the New World Order and Kali Yuga In a 1980 article "Hitlerism and the Hindu World," published in The National Socialist, Savitri explained the basis of Esoteric Hitlerism and related some of her experiences with the Hindus during the war. In Hitler Devi found the 'Man Against Time' combining idealism with force, both lightning and sun, waging war against the forces of the Age on a practical level; the Avatar of Kalki the Avenger who comes at the end of every Age. Regarding NS as the practical manifestation of Aryan cosmology as it continued in Hinduism, she worked with pro-Axis and independence movements in India during the war. www.geocities.com /integral_tradition/devi.html   (2500 words)

esamskriti- Japan The scope of studying Buddhist scriptures was expanded during the Nara period, as it included the study of Vinaya as well as the Abhidharmakosa of Vasubandhu, the Satyasiddhi of Harivarman, the works of Nagarjuna and Aryadeva, besides works on Buddhist idealism like Dharmapala's Vijnaptimatratasiddhi and the Avatamsaka. Although Buddhist deities like Buddha, Maitreya, Amitabha and Vairocana predominate Japanese literature; Hindu gods are also quite well known. A description of Sarasvati occurs in the voluminous text Asabasho by Shocho 1205-82 and the rituals connected with her worship have been recorded by Ryoson 1279 to 1349 in Chapter CXLIX of his Byaku-hokku-sho (The White Jewel of Indian Tradition). www.esamskriti.com /html/new_inside.asp?cat_name=cultphil&cid=541&sid=9007&count1=3   (2500 words)

George Berkeley at Erratic Impact's Philosophy Research Base Ironically, the immaterialism of traditional Hindu and Buddhism philosophies is now more widely known in the West than its own indigenous form of idealism. Berkeley put forward mental monism as a reaction to the rising tide of mechanistic Newtonian metaphysics, which had gained popularity by riding on the back of the scientific revolution. The International Berkeley Society (founded in 1975) holds meetings, conferences, and symposia, and publishes the results of scholarly research on both sides of the Atlantic and brings attention and information, both old and new, about George Berkeley and his works. www.erraticimpact.com /~modern/html/modern_george_berkeley.htm   (1257 words)

Sectarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sectarianism may, in the abstract, be characterized by dogmatism and inflexibility; sentimental or axiomatic adherence to an idea, belief or tradition; and idealism that provides a sense of continuity, orientation, and certainty. In India, sectarianism is known as communalism, which refers particularly to conflict between the Hindu and Muslim communities. A sectarian conflict usually refers to conflict along religious and political lines such as the conflicts between between Shia and Sunni Muslims, or between Catholics and Protestants in Ulster and western Scotland. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sectarianism   (1257 words)

The Deconstruction of Buddhism The sangha (community of monks and nuns) that the Buddha established has been called the world's first democracy; in contrast to the Hindu caste system, hierarchy was determined solely by when one joined. controversies about whether or not Yogacara is an idealism (therefore a reversion to logocentrism) and how compatible it is with Madhyamika, except to emphasize that its methodology was different: rather than offering a logical analysis of philosophical categories, it attempted to work out the implications of certain meditative experiences. Thanks to sensitivities that Derrida's texts have helped to develop, it is possible to understand the Buddhist tradition as a history of this struggle between deconstructive delimitation and metaphysical re-appropriation, between a message that undermines all security by undermining the sense-of-self that seeks security, and a countervailing tendency to dogmatize and institutionalize that challenge. ccbs.ntu.edu.tw /FULLTEXT/JR-ENG/loy10.htm   (7817 words)

Brainstorms: James Barham: Thoughts on Thinking Matter Amit’s view is that quantum idealism can be bootstrapped by the most primitive of biological organisms, and so he has no real qualms concerning the scientific cosmology. Amit’s ‘idealization’ of scientific cosmology is quite in keeping with the theosophical interpretation of Hindu cosmology, attempting to blend it with science. Henry states that quantum physics incorporates a high level of intentionality into its projection operator that is responsible for the ‘collapse’ of the wave function. www.iscid.org /boards/ubb-get_topic-f-6-t-000291-p-5.html   (4808 words)

MSN Encarta - Schopenhauer Schopenhauer disagreed with the school of idealism and was strongly opposed to the ideas of the German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, who believed in the spiritual nature of all reality. He then settled in Frankfurt am Main, where he led a solitary life and became deeply involved in the study of Buddhist and Hindu philosophies and mysticism. The influence of Schopenhauer's philosophy may be seen in the early works of the German philosopher and poet Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, in the music dramas of the German composer Richard Wagner, and in much of the philosophical and artistic work of the 20th century. encarta.msn.com /encnet/refpages/RefArticle.aspx?refid=761559411   (602 words)
