However, if you go into a Hindu, Sikh or Buddhist Temple you will see many images or statues of their Gods. Christian art has long depicted the face of Christ, usually showing a blue eyed, blonde Jesus far removed from that of a Jew fr...2020-08-3127 min.jpg)

PhiliminalityJessica Frazier, “You are What you Know: Becoming the Cosmos in Ancient India”Some of India's earliest philosophy in the Upanisads relied on an implicit theory of knowledge that saw the mind as a malleable material that 'becomes' what it knows. We look at how this theory, when it meets the beginnings of metaphysics, sets the scene for speculative philosophy as a therapy of self-expansion, self-deepening, and self-remaking. Here, rather than a quietist or stoic purpose for philosophy - as Pierre Hadot has suggested - we see philosophy as the mind's capacity to recreate itself in the likeness of the cosmos.2019-11-1041 min

Oxford Centre for Hindu StudiesGadamer's Hermeneutics: Bias, Understanding, and Expanding HorizonsDr Jessica Frazier:Gadamer saw culture, religion, and art as 'living texts' that integrate our life experience into a meaningful worldview that allows us to think, act, and create. But no worldview is ever static or finished; in 'understanding' we use bias (that of ourselves and others) as the raw material from which a new worldview is created. In this respect Gadamer shares much with Aristotelian and later Vitalist thinkers. But Gadamer also affirms that texts can act poetically as 'angels', as he puts it in his studies of Rilke and Paul Celan, gesturing toward the transcendence of that which...2016-01-111h 14In Our TimeAshoka the GreatMelvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the Indian Emperor Ashoka.
