Download or read book The Influence of Vedanta and Buddhism on the Poetry and Drama of T S Eliot written by P. S. Padmanabhan and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian philosophical themes and symbols which are fused with the Christian doctrine in Eliot's poetry and drama have not been scrutinized and interpreted with the care and attention they deserve. This is surprising since Eliot's preoccupation with Indian philosophical thought dates back to his early youth and undergraduate days at Harvard. It is not difficult to illustrate the explicit use Eliot makes of Indian philosophy in his poetry; to cite but one example, he brings the Buddha and St. Augustine together at the very core of The Waste Land. But, in most instances, these allusions to Indian thought have not been related to his basic vision of the human condition. Unless all direct references to Indian thought in Eliot's poetry and drama are regarded as mere window-dressing, they must be understood as indispensable parts of organic wholes, indicating a particularly valuable mode of penetration which might uncover the implicit use Eliot makes of Indian philosophical thought. Eliot's family background and upbringing contributed to the development of a ecumenical and tolerant spirit in him and encouraged him to explore and assimilate thoughts and perspectives beyond his own creed. Thus, when he went to Harvard, he studied Indian languages and philosophical and literary texts. Later, when he edited the Criterion, he published a considerable number of articles and book reviews pertaining to Indian philosophy; this indicated his continued interest in Indian philosophy and literature beyond his student days. Presumably, therefore, he assimilated a great deal of Indian philosophy and incorporated it in his poetry and drama. Poetry, religion and philosophy are no doubt quite distinct from each other in the abstract, and may be regarded as having different functions. But, in the concrete, they overlap considerably, since all three of them, at their very highest and best, spring out of certain fundamental intuitions which are keenly experienced and felt to be of cosmic significance. A comparison of the fundamental intuitions of Vedanta and Buddhism with those underlying Eliot's poetry and drama would enable one not only to gauge the deep influence of Vedanta and Buddhism on Eliot's Welt anschauung, but also to gain some insight into his basic vision of the human condition. It is found that the philosophical and spiritual orientation of Eliot is essentially in accordance with the basic tenets of Vedanta and Buddhism and that these truths are fused with Christian doctrine in his poetry and drama. Consequently, there is, at first, the penetrating awareness of the pervasiveness of suffering and impermanence. Next, there is the recognition that the root-cause of all suffering is the craving that impels us to cling to transient material phenomena. Then, there is the realization that through the practice of detachment from craving and compassion towards those who suffer, the universal change and suffering can be transcended, though not negated, in the apprehension of the timeless in time. And above all, there is the deep feeling that permeates his works from beginning to end, the heart-felt yearning for a mystic union with the Ultimate Reality in one's own being, a yearning born out of the conviction that one must work out one's salvation with diligence, and expressing itself through passionate prayer which his poetry as a whole may be said to embody in the last analysis. The basic concern that animates Eliot's poetic "raids on the inarticulate" - the awareness of man's intimate connection with both time and eternity, within the framework of the fact of human bondage and the possibility of human freedom - is absolutely universal and may well be called the 'philosophia perennis' that surfaces variously time and again in the religious and philosophical traditions of the East and the West. It is clear, therefore, that Eliot not only had more than a nodding acquaintance with Indian philosophical thought but that he deliberately reached out beyond the confines of his Anglo-Catholicism and Occidental personality in a genuine attempt at East-West ideo-synthesis. And Eliot's vision of the human condition is one of the most reliable, if one is looking for a momentary stay against confusion in the contemporary chaos.

The impact of measure adopted under teh scheme has been subjected to empirical tests with micro-level data.

Download or read book Thinking with Shakespeare written by William Poole (New College, Oxford) and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Shakespeares works do not embody any doctrine or set of beliefs, as his critics have long been tempted to suggest, but they do stage encounters with certain kinds of thinking ethical, political, epistemological, even metaphysical that still concern us nowadays. They can be shown to draw on ancient philosophies Platonism, Stoicism, Scepticism either directly or through medieval and continental Renaissance thought. Or their scenarios can be likened to those of other kinds of intellectual argument, such as legal or theological discourse. The essays collected in this volume demonstrate the value of thinking with Shakespeare, either as embodied in Shakespeares own creative programme or in our use of philosophical paradigms as an approach to his works. The contributors are Colin Burrow, Terence Cave, Gabriel Josipovoci, Charles Martindale, Stephen Medcalf, Subha Mukherji, A. D. Nuttall and N. K. Sugimura."
