Summary

In "The Distinction between Mind and Its Objects," Bernard Bosanquet presents an intricate philosophical exploration of the relationship between consciousness and the external world. Employing a distinctive style that merges rigorous argumentation with accessible prose, Bosanquet navigates the terrains of idealism and metaphysics, challenging the dichotomy between subjective experience and objective reality. The work contributes significantly to early 20th-century philosophical discourse, positioning itself as a rebuttal to more reductionist views of perception and reality, while advocating for a holistic understanding of knowledge as grounded in both mind and its objects. Bosanquet, a central figure in British idealism, was influenced by Hegelian philosophy and his interests in aesthetics, ethics, and social theory. His academic journey and philosophical development were shaped by the intellectual climate of his time, which grappled with the implications of emerging empirical sciences and the evolving understanding of consciousness. His commitment to integrating logic and metaphysics in addressing complex philosophical issues is reflected throughout this seminal work. This book is recommended for readers seeking a deepened understanding of idealism and those interested in the complexities of mind-object relations. Bosanquet's articulate approach invites readers to reconsider foundational philosophical issues, making it essential for students and scholars alike.

  • The Tu Quoque Fallacy - Deflecting Criticism by Accusing the Accuser - cover

    The Tu Quoque Fallacy -...

    The Tu Quoque fallacy, often referred to as the "appeal to hypocrisy," is a form of argumentation where an individual deflects criticism by accusing the accuser of the same flaw or wrongdoing. Instead of addressing the substance of the criticism, the person making this fallacious argument focuses on the accuser’s behavior, thereby shifting the attention away from the original issue. This technique is often employed to avoid dealing with uncomfortable truths and to undermine the credibility of the person making the accusation. While the Tu Quoque fallacy may seem like a valid rebuttal in certain situations, it is inherently flawed because it does not address the merit of the argument but instead aims to discredit the opponent by pointing out their perceived hypocrisy. 
    The term "Tu Quoque" is derived from Latin, meaning "you too" or "you also." It is a logical misstep in which the argument shifts from the issue at hand to the behavior or actions of the accuser. For example, if person A criticizes person B for smoking, and person B responds by saying, "But you smoke too," this response deflects the criticism without actually addressing the harmful effects of smoking. By focusing on the accuser's actions, the fallacy diverts attention from the original point and diminishes the potential for meaningful discussion. 
    This fallacy is common in many aspects of modern discourse, particularly in political debates, social media discussions, and even in personal relationships. In public debates, individuals or groups may use the Tu Quoque fallacy to avoid engaging with difficult questions, redirecting the conversation toward the alleged hypocrisy of their opponents rather than addressing the real issues. In personal relationships, it may appear as a defensive reaction to avoid taking responsibility for one's actions or mistakes.

    Voices of Dissent - An Essay...

    Written by one of India's best-known public intellectuals, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in India's fascinating history as well as the direction in which the nation is headed.
    
    People have argued since time immemorial. Disagreement is a part of life, of human experience. But we now live in times when any form of protest in India is marked as anti-Indian and met with arguments that the very concept of dissent was imported into India from the West. As Romila Thapar explores in her timely historical essay, however, dissent has a long history in the subcontinent, even if its forms have evolved through the centuries.
     
    In Voices of Dissent: An Essay, Thapar looks at the articulation of nonviolent dissent and relates it to various pivotal moments throughout India's history. Beginning with Vedic times, she takes us from the second to the first millennium BCE, to the emergence of groups that were jointly called the Shramanas-the Jainas, Buddhists, and Ajivikas. Going forward in time, she also explores the views of the Bhakti sants and others of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and brings us to a major moment of dissent that helped to establish a free and democratic India: Mahatma Gandhi's satyagraha. Then Thapar places in context the recent peaceful protests against India's new, controversial citizenship law, maintaining that dissent in our time must be opposed to injustice and supportive of democratic rights so that society may change for the better.
