The philosophy considers every thing in nature as, general and special.Vaiśeṣika considers everything that in Viśeṣa (special). This particularly or special something is given stress in the Vaiśeṣika (as the term is a derivation from the word Viśeṣa). It may be the ether space, time, soul and mind. The atoms of earth, water, fire and air are eternal and the atom has a divinity sometimes. Their idea may be identified as some diversity particles. Each of the above mentioned objects has eternity as well as some distinctiveness. Vaiśeṣika emphasise the plurality and distinctness of physical things and spiritual souls. Atomism is its remarkable feature. The author of Vaiśeṣika Sutra, is one Kaṇāda, who is supposed to have lived in 300 B.C. He clearly …show more content…
He travelled through a path entirely different from his contemporaries. Kaṇāda became very popular as the founder of Vaiśeṣika Darśana. The Vaiśeṣika sutras were chiefly composed by him. It was Śankaramiśra who wrote a commentary to Vaiśeṣika Sutra. The vrithi written on Vaiśeṣika sutra by Ravana Bhaṣya and Bharadvaya seems to be lost Śankaramiśra wrote an independent treatise (1500AD) called Kaṇādabhaṣhya. Jayanārayana (1700AD) also wrote a commentary on Vaiśeṣika Sutra, named Kaṇādakiraṇāvali, Praśastapāda (400AD) wrote a running commentary on the Vaiśeṣika Sutra called padārthadharma samgraha. It is regarded as an authoritative work on the Vaiśeṣika system. It is also called praśastapāda Bhasya. Some scholars are of opinion that it is a different work which is lost. Sridhara (1000AD) wrote an elaborate commentary on padārthadharma samgraha called Nyāya Kandali (113 śak year) Udayana (1000AD) wrote a commentary on it called Kiraṇāvali Vyoma-Sivacarya (1000AD) wrote a commentary on it called Vyomavali, which is partly published. It is probably older than the two commentaries mentioned above or at least equally old Padmanābhamiśra (1600AD) wrote a commentary on it called setu jagadisa. Tarkalankāra (1700AD) wrote a commentary on it called Sukti. Vardhamāna (1400AD) Gangeśaś son wrote a commentary on Kiraṇāvali called Kraṇāvali Bhāskara Bhatta. Vagindra (1300AD) wrote a commentary on Guṇākiraṇāvali called Rasasāra. Bhagiratha Thakkura wrote a commentary on Vardhamānas Kiraṇāvaliprakasa called Kiraṇāvali Prakāśā – Vyakhyā. Reghyanātha Siromani (1475-1550AD) wrote a commentary on it called Kiraṇāvaliprakaśa vivrti Madhurānatha Tarkavāgiśa (1660-1675) wrote a commentary on it called Guṇākiraṇāvali Prakāsavivvrtirahasya. Sivaāditya (1000AD) wrote Saptapadārtha in which he discussed seven categories including logic. Madhavasaraswathi wrote a commentary called mitabhaṣini on it. Vallabha’s (1200AD) Nyāyalilavati is

For example, Vesalius’s book De Humani Corporis Fabrica was written and published in 1543, therefore the primary source will include relevant and appropriate information form the time period. On the other hand, The History of Science from the Ancient Greeks to the Scientific Revolution by Ray Spangenburg and Diane K. Moser was published in 1993 therefore, it cannot have all the correct details from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The text can be biased because of the personal views of the author, and the time in which it was written could be influential because more accurate information can be discovered after the text is published. For instance, after William Harvey identified the parts and functions of the circulatory system, doctors and scientists developed new ideals based off of Harvey’s theories. Articles tend to be unreliable because journalists often give their impressions of the situation to please readers.

Ashoka ruled India from 268 BCE until he died in 232 BCE. Ashoka had edicts written on pillars, boulders, and walls. Ashoka became a Buddhist and worked on spreading the beliefs and faith throughout his reign. Ashoka is considered to be either a ruthless warrior or an enlightened ruler. Ashoka was enlightened because he respected all faiths and he cared about all life.
Haley Tanner’s “Vaclav and Lena” is a novel that has its unique ways of connecting to the readers’ past and their personalities. Its plot might not be related to anything people here in this country might have experienced, but the minute details that the book introduces can really stand out to anyone who comes across them. These little details all revolve around the relationship between two Russian born children, Vaclav and Lena. They grew together as a two peas in a pod but their innocence and ignorance soon leads them into separate paths. It was the day when “Lena, who has been his only friend wince they were small, does not want to be seen with him” (41).
Karen Armstrong and Robert Thurman wrote their essays, “Homo religiosus” and “Wisdom”, respectively, describing two words, “being” and “void”. These words, although have opposite meanings, describe the same spiritual experience that come about through different means. By definition, “being” is a kind of fullness or completeness of existence and “void” is emptiness or a negation of existence. Armstrong believes that “being” is the equivalent of the Buddhist’s “Nirvana” while Thurman believes that “void” is the equivalent of the Buddhist’s “Nirvana”. Although these terms seem to be opposite in the literal sense of defining them, they lead to the same outcome: not being at the center of one’s own universe.
The pieces that I will be analyzing are the Head of an Akkadian Ruler, 2250-2200 BCE and Thutmose’s Nefertiti, 1353-1535 BCE. I personally think that these two pieces represent an eerie naturalism, which also makes them different based on their facial features, abstract patterning, and the masculinity and femininity. The piece that I am analyzing is the Head of an Akkadian Ruler that was created between the times 2250-2200 BCE, found in the ancient Mesopotamian city Nineveh, which is located in modern day Iraq. The head is what survives today of a life size hollow-cast sculpture, because it was destroyed in antiquity.

Kamala was a major influence in Siddhartha’s life. She was what set Siddhartha onto the wrong path that was necessary for him to understand life. On his travels as a Samana, he encounters the beautiful woman known as Kamala and asks for her to become his teacher. In order to become her student in the art of love, Siddhartha must look rich and actually be wealthy in order to afford gifts for her (Hesse 54).
In “The Fourth State of Matter” Jo Ann Beard portrays a perspective of the shooting of the physics department at the University of Iowa that not everyone knows about. A look at the relationships and some of the tension with the shooter and the people the shooter interacted with. The man responsible for the shooting at the University of Iowa was a Chinese doctoral student who worked in the physics department with the people he had shot, and the shooter was referred as Gang Lu. Ever since Lu had been working there, he had never enjoyed the company and presence of his fellow co-workers.
They both share the same sentiments that the soul appears in non-material form and hence it cannot be categorized with the other parts of the body. This explanation shows that they do not differ in all
It is nothing to those who live (since to them it does not exist) and it is nothing to those who have died (since they no longer exist)”
As Bartley says, “Were the dharmas to have essence, there could be no change, and if no change, no moral growth and no possibility of release from suffering” (86). Madhyamaka declares that everything, both conventional and ultimate, lacks an intrinsic essence (svabhāva). Therefore, they argue the difference between ultimate and conventional reality does not hinge upon what has
It is kept away from the profane in order for it to not become immersed in the mundane. The sacred can be manifested in various forms such as stones and trees. But it never emerges as a sacred entity on its own- the form it acquires (such as that of the stone or tree) acquires a sacred value and thus becomes that entity that is to be worshipped. In the first chapter, ‘Sacred Space’, the divide between religious spatial dynamics is delved into.
Everything brought into this world exists and takes up space, these things have their own reason for existence. These reasons are also a part of their essence. The basic nature of a thing defines the word “essence”, it is also the quality that makes something what it is. The famous author George Orwell said: “The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection, that one is sometimes willing to commit sins for the sake of loyalty, that one does not push asceticism to the point where it makes friendly intercourse impossible, and that one is prepared in the end to be defeated and broken up by life, which is the inevitable price of fastening one’s love upon other human individuals”. This saying by George Orwell tells us to be prepared for life’s
