THE AGE OF REASON

1. No Knowledge is Antecedent to Experience; it begins with it. 2.  Whether there exists some knowledge altogether independent of experience, and even of all sensuous impressions? Knowledge of this kind is called a priori, in contradistinction to empirical knowledge, which has its sources a posteriori, that is, in experience. 3. The existence of a priori knowledge, a posteriori knowledge  4. Pure and impure a priori knowledge. 

 Although I am preparing for the Civils this year, but I have to study ither books in order to survive the hegemonic order of the things hitherto. What is there to live for if not to read? I think I can bear the world's problems and my mind's own disabilities only through columns of an article or through bookmarks of a book.  The reason I do not find solace in living in the immediate world being like what everyone else do, live in real world, hang out with real, mediocre people, is not because I think I am a reclusive person but precisely because I think only real is fiction and if you want to know reality as immediate as your surroundings, a Hugh amount of non-fiction books are required to be read and nothing real otherwise.  No reality lies beyond fiction and no real is out of the non-fiction. So, why bother about what your Neighbour is doing. Fuck the Neighbour. Fuck your Neighbour as thyself.  So, I thought it would be better to make a reading list. Adhering...

Saying that a hope can be curated which does not rely on any extra-terrestrial deity or to say, a God, is not just an exaggeration. It is an utmost sincere statement which I and many other atheists and at times theists make.  Hope, in its most basic is a belief that everything in the end is going to be fine. There were different instances in the human history when the human society has collectively hoped. Yes, these times come once in a lifetime of some humans.  First of all, When European sailors found new lands in the east and west (India and America), it ushered an era of hope for the west and may be for the whole world. Why do I say so? I say so because just imagine, what would have happened if they would not have found the new routes? A strong Pan-Islam in the world would have traded. Arab traders had already come to south of India. First ever in the history, man tried to find ways for his own self-interest rather than a religion inspired overtone of extending the empire ...

You have a truth, and people barely have it these days, Truth comes with a responsibility of being published. A man of truth, a rare thing to find these days, is always a man who will find ways to push past his limits. It is because his truth is forcing him to a certain non-conformist attitude. How do you recognize that it is truth in your mind and not a believed hokum? The present write up tries to understand that. Truth can be anything but a conformism. A quality of truth is it changes. It undergoes changes to accommodate itself to the conditions of its times. Kabir is the most famous agnostic to ever take birth to this piece of land. But we find him singing verses of religion. He sings Dohas which are directly in praise of an extra-terrestrial deity. He has adapted to his times. He is the same Kabeer, who writes,  हिन्दू कहें मोहि राम पियारा, तुर्क कहें रहमाना, आपस में दोउ लड़ी-लड़ी  मुए, मरम न कोउ जाना। So, what is the Marma or essence he is talking about? I claim it is t...
