Mythological thought is a specific way of thinking in the history that human beings transit from the age of barbarism to the age of civilization. It reflects human beings’ divine experience on nature and life as a method for human beings to master and transcend the nature as well as  the interpretation of initial human society beyond humanism, which symbolizes the evolution of human thoughts from primitive thoughts to higher logic thoughts. The thinking mode and emotions of Indians are deeply rooted in religious views, which were even reflected in ancient Vedic period. Rigveda is a paean that was generated when Aryans fought against invasion by different races and the nature. Aryans on the grassland led a nomadic life in the vast world. They felt the spirits of all things due to worship of the nature so they were generous with worship of deities. After Aryans lived a stable life in the agrarian society, the mythological world of Aryans developed from polytheism to monolatry. In other words, it developed towards the world with fewer deities or the lord deity. With polytheism, their worship for deities was gradually improving simultaneously. As the origin of India religious culture, Rigveda has reflected various features of Indian’s mythological thought.

AbstractThe practices, habits and convictions that once allowed the inhabitants of Christendom to determine what they could reasonably do and say together to foster a just and equitable common life have slowly been displaced over the past few centuries by new configurations which have sought to maintain an inherited faith in an underlying purpose to human life while disassociating themselves from the God who had been the beginning and end of that faith. In the end, however, these new configurations are incapable of sustained deliberations about the basic conditions of our humanity. Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theology provides important clues into what it takes to make and keep human life human in such a world. The first part of this essay examines Bonhoeffer's conception of the last things, the things before the last, and what binds them together. He argues that the things before the last do not possess a separate, autonomous existence, and that the positing of such a breach has had disastrous effects on human beings and the world they inhabit. The second part looks at Bonhoeffer's account of the divine mandates as the conceptual basis for coping with a world that has taken leave of God. Though this account of the mandates has much to commend it, it is hindered by problematic habits of interpretation that leave it vacillating between incommensurable positions. Bonhoeffer's incomplete insights are thus subsumed within Augustine's understanding of the two orders of human society set forth in City of God.

It is knowledge and emotion that haunt human society. From the day the world appeared until the day the world ended, knowledge and emotion existed. According to Thiruvalluvar, knowledge that calms the emotion in his kural. Meyppatu are manifestations of mental consciousness. Tholkkappiyar has numbered the emotions that appear in the human mind in his epic Tholkkappiyam in Chapter Porulathigaaram. He has analyzed the emotions that appear within him in a way that others can know and understand very accurately (Meyppatu). They are eight types of emotions that apply to all human beings in the world. Meyppatu are the expression of human instincts. This dissertation aims to find out how the poetic enlightenment has been manipulated in the poetic epistemology of the numerical facts stated in the economics of Tholkappiam the fact of the matter is that consciousness is an emotional state that paves the way for human happiness. Any living being born into the world wants to be happy. Therefore, the researcher has used the poems of Arivumathi to prove this fact.

AbstractThis article discusses the brokenness of the world and roots of human wrongdoing. It argues that the acknowledgement of sin is a precondition for a humane society of compassion and solidarity. The ambiguity of laws is discussed: laws are necessary, but at the same time they lead us to think that we can improve ourselves. This way of thinking entails that, like the world, we can perfect ourselves. This article explores the consequences of wrong perceptions of human beings, brokenness and sin for individuals and society and points to the contribution that Christian public theology can make.

There is also a rich tradition of music in India. Few countries have found such an old and rich tradition of music. Indian music has an inspiring Siva and Saraswati which means that human beings cannot develop such high art without any divine inspiration, only on their own strength. Music existed in India since Vedic period. The Yajurveda mentions several instrumental choirs in the 19th and 20th mantras of the 30th scandal. Which makes the existence of music clear. The history of Indian music is at least 4000 years old. The most ancient music mentioned in the world is found in the Samaveda, the artistic atmosphere of various instruments and vocals developed here. Pythagoras became the first person in Europe to determine the place of vowels by the laws of mathematics. भारत में भी संगीत की समृद्ध परम्परा रही है। कुछ ही देशों में संगीत की इतनी पुरानी एवं समृद्ध परम्परा पायी गई है। भारतीय संगीत के प्रेरक षिव और सरस्वती है इसका तात्पर्य है कि मानव इतनी उच्च कला को बिना किसी दैवी प्रेरणा के, केवल स्वयं के बल पर विकसित नहीं कर सकता। वैदिककाल से ही संगीत भारत में विद्यमान था। यजुर्वेद में 30वें कांड के 19वें और 20वें मंत्र में कई वाद्य बजानेवालों का उल्लेख है। जिससे संगीत का अस्तित्व स्पष्ट होता है। भारतीय संगीत का इतिहास कम से कम 4000 वर्ष पुराना है। संसारभर में सबसे प्राचीन संगीत का उल्लेख सामवेद में मिलता है यहाँ विभिन्न प्रकार के वाद्य यंत्रों और स्वरों के कलात्मक वातावरण का विकास हुआ। यूरोप में पाइथागोरस पहला व्यक्ति हुआ है जिसमें गणित के नियमों द्वारा स्वरों के स्थान को निर्धारित किया।

A bit under 10 years: That’s what it took engineers and project managers to bring some human beings to the Moon in the 60’s. That’s also the time we have to act and rebuild a smart and sustainable human society for the world, and one good indicator for this is reaching the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals by the year 2030. The Sulitest’s matrix gives an excellent structure to explain the current situation and share information in a structured and helpful way; a way in which all can find an answer to this key question: “What can YOU do NOW to rebuild a smart and sustainable society for the world?” The Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development, also known as The Natural Step Framework, is the best approach I’ve found to help create needed systemic and strategic changes. Examples from the business or scientific areas can shed light on how to achieve this incredibly needed change to discuss the role of technology, and to explore how systems change and can be transformed. In this paper, I’ll share some of the experience and learnings I’ve gained over the last 20 years, trying to acce lerate change towards sustainability. I’ll share the fact that it’s fun and motivating, as well as an incredible opportunity for all, even if it’s not necessarily always easy like most good things which do require efforts to reach. And for all the ones who won’t be able to read further: If not now, when? If not here, where? If not you and I, who?

<p>The greatness of Ibn Khaldun's name makes the world recognized and reviewed his thoughts. If we revisit the treasury of medieval Islamic intellectual thought and develop a tradition of thought in the world of campus, this tradition and culture is good to do. This paper raises who is really the figure of Ibn Khaldun and how his thoughts are especially on his social cultural thinking. Ibn Khaldun's theory of social phenomena includes the theory of evolution that views social phenomena as the dynamics of society, nations and states that differ across generations. The human society according to Ibn Khaldun is an independent entity. and can be perfectly managed regardless of religious values. He says humans can be good and evil at the same time. Man is evil because of animal nature, and on the contrary, man is good because of his involvement with other human beings. Ibn Khaldun's mind is so visionary that it is relevant to the context of the development of the era as developed by modern philosophers which actually comes from the socio-cultural view of Ibn Khaldun.</p><p> </p><p>Begitu besar nama Ibn Khaldun sehingga dunia mengakui dan mengkaji kembali pemikiran-pemikirannya. Jika kita menguak kembali khazanah pemikiran intelektual Islam abad pertengahan dan mengembangkan tradisi pemikiran di dunia kampus, tradisi dan budaya ini bagus untuk dilakukan.

Teori fenomena sosial Ibn Khaldun termasuk teori evolusi yang memandang fenomena sosial sebagai dinamika masyarakat, bangsa dan negara yang berbeda antar generasi. Masyarakat manusia menurut Ibn Khaldun adalah suatu entitas yang independen. dan dapat diurus secara sempurna lepas dari nilai-nilai agama. Menurutnya manusia bisa baik clan jahat pada saat yang sama. Manusia jahat karena adanya sifat dasar kebinatangan, dan sebaliknya, manusia itu baik karena keterlibatannya dengan manusia lain. Pemikiran Ibn Khaldun sangat visioner sehingga relevan dengan konteks perkembangan jaman sebagaimana yang kemudian dikembangkan oleh filsuf modern yang sesungguhnya bermuara dari pandangan sosial budaya Ibnu Khaldun.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

Area Of Influence

The world is the largest unit of human society and its important part is society. Folk literature, folk art and consequent folk culture are the creation of this way of life. Many families form a society by joining one family. Every person in the family plays an important role in building the family, society, nation and the world. India is a culture oriented country in the whole world. The word Sanskrit is related to Sanskar which means to amend, to refine and to make perfect. The word culture became synonymous with the English word culture. It means to create or improve. Rites are hidden in culture itself. Even though the music art originated in the religion-oriented India, the innate feelings and inspirations of human beings have changed. It has been developed and brought up in the womb of music. The social background and folk music of Uttarakhand is closely related. Garhwal and Kumaon divisions, Uttarakhand, the birthplace of Adyashakti Parvati, has been the taphbhoomi of sages and sages since ancient times, Mahakavi Kalidas has worshiped the Himalayas in the Mangal Shloka of his epic and called Nagadhiraj the deity of God and earth. Both these centers of Devbhoomi took their area of ​​influence, due to which the influence area of ​​Kedar came to be called 'Kedarkhand' and Kailash Mansarovar's area of ​​influence was called 'Manaskhand'. विश्व मानव समाज की वृहत्तम इकाई है और इसका महत्वपूर्ण अंग है, समाज। लोक साहित्य, लोककला और परिणामस्वरूप लोक संस्कृति इस जीवन पद्धति की निर्मिति है। एक परिवार से जुड़कर अनेक परिवार समाज बनाते हैं। परिवार में प्रत्येक व्यक्ति, परिवार, समाज, राष्ट्र और विश्व के निर्माण में एक महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाता है। समस्त विश्व में भारत संस्कृति प्रधान देश है। संस्कृति शब्द का सम्बन्ध संस्कार से है जिसका अर्थ है - संशोधन करना, परिष्कार करना एवं उत्तम बनाना। संस्कृति शब्द अंग्रेजी शब्द कल्चर का पर्यायवाची बना। इसका अर्थ है पैदा करना या सुधारना। संस्कृति में ही संस्कार छिपे होते हैं। धर्म प्रधान भारत में संगीत कला का उद्गम भले ही मानव की सहज भावनाओं एवं प्रेरणाओं के अभ्यंतर हुआ हो। उसका विकास व पालन-पोषण संगीत की कोख में हुआ है। उत्तराखण्ड की सामाजिक पृष्ठभूमि और लोकसंगीत का गहरा सम्बन्ध है। ‘‘गढ़वाल तथा कुमाऊँ मण्डल, आद्यशक्ति पार्वती की जन्मभूमि उत्तराखण्ड, प्राचीनकाल से ही ऋषि-मुनियों की तपोभूमि रही है, महाकवि कालिदास ने अपने महाकाव्य के मंगल श्लोक में हिमालय की वंदना कर नगाधिराज को देवात्मा एवं पृथ्वी का मानदण्ड कहा है। देवभूमि के इन दोनों केन्द्रों ने अपने प्रभाव क्षेत्र में लिया था जिस कारण केदार के प्रभाव क्षेत्र को ‘केदारखण्ड’ और कैलाश मानसरोवर के प्रभाव क्षेत्र को ‘मानसखण्ड’ कहा जाने लगा।9

Abstract Robot is definitely playing important role in human society. Low contact on machine standards is mostly on industrial robot while close contacts are in increasing demand in service robot, etc. The development of robotics with advanced hardware and artificial intelligence (AI) provide the possibility with human beings while close contacts raise many new issues on ethics and risks. For interaction, the related technique of perception, cognition and interaction are briefly introduced. For ethics, rules should be given for the robot designers to include ethics for certain application while risks should be evaluated during the experiment test. To make efficient decision, safety design with AI technology should be put on agenda for roboticists. Except from the risks, ethics raise many challenges while most of them can be solved by developing technologies while some of the problems exist in human’s society which also raise the questions for the human beings. More broader vision should be taken from different social departments together to avoid the possible embarrassed issues. It’s time to welcome the world of robotics and related techniques will make life more efficient while human-robot coexistence society will come one day and law should be imposed on both.

Phenomenological Psychopathology

This chapter discusses the achievements of Wolfgang Blankenburg in phenomenological psychopathology and his theory of psychiatry and psychotherapy in general. Coming from the so-called “Anthropologische Psychiatrie,” Blankenburg, his early years, focused on developing a comprehensive understanding of schizophrenic psychoses as a different form of existing in the world rather than as dysfunctional behavior. Later Blankenburg’s psychopathological oeuvre extended to a wide range of clinical conditions, yet always concerned with seeing the positives of living with symptoms rather than their deficits. He transferred psychopathological insights into therapeutic approaches—from psychotherapeutical to body-centered methods. Blankenburg found stimulating ideas in a broad range of humanities, including anthropology, sociology, and ethnology. His own way of thinking became “dialectical,” defined by his own words as the openness to different concepts of cultural and historical self-understanding of man. In his later years his rather philosophical reflections centered on the fields of temporality and creativity of human beings.

The Relationship

The most dangerous tendency of the present human generation is to enjoy every aspect of life selfishly which leads to serious threat to an environment. From the very beginning man was never a solitary creature in the planet where the relationship between humans and nature is one of the most fundamental issues we face and must deal with today. A universal holistic approach is needed, which may develop ecological consciousness among us. Many religions, scriptures can help to build a model of ecological consciousness. The importance of ancient Indian religious practices shows that human beings are an integral part of nature, and should, therefore, naturally understand the framework of life. At present human society is misled by the false attraction of the materialistic life, so to realize his true ‘self ,‘ one has to get out of this false notion that human society is the only proprietor of the world. The ‘Bhagavad-Gita’ nicely describes detachment from materials activities to the transcendental activities with realizing our true ‘self.’ Warwick Fox and Arne Naess’s ‘Self Realization’ shows how a person who Is self-realized and well-identified with the non-human world, will behave in harmony with nature, acting from inclination rather than duty.
