Blank-slate revolutionary ·        Revolutionaries are of two types: inferior ones conjure idealistic precedents to inspire aspirations. Revolutionary in the best sense of a word is a blank-slate as he inspires grass root movements by conjuring a hazy future utopia.   The alienation of the self ·         The alienation of the self from self-actualization is not because one is repressed toward fulfilling some life goal but because one is further unable to sublimate himself toward another goal.   No more appointments with eclipses ·         Instruments have made us the weather proph...

(Written for the students of the English department of SBBU)   By Prof Dr. Sohail Ansari ‘Michael H. Hart   (is an American   author, most notably of   The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History’. The substance of book is widely perceived to be solidly constructed and therefore, continues to gain wider and wider currency. Perhaps no other book (on the same subject) has quite the cachet of ‘A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History’ and that renders its rendition of judgment quite seminal.   Hart has earned kudos as he is credited to have the academic excellence and scholastic clinical detachment with penetrating insight sine qua non for seeing things in the light of balanced rationality and impartiality, and for delving into the ticklish discipline of history. “A text without a context is a pretext for a proof text” I pasted below the passage in its entirety so that no one can say that context is not simply its immedia...

(Sophocles) ·         The truth is more important than the facts (Frank Lloyd Wright) Absolutes ·        Something is true because it cannot be false and something is false because it cannot be true. Method of tenacity ·        The user of the method of tenacity follows the logic that something is true because it has always been true. But the thing that has always been true cannot be true anymore. Conclusion is a surprise or no surprise ·        Conclusion is a surprise for those who are con...

He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. ·             Humans always have their lives compartmentalized between work and leisure. Work that occupies most to most in pre-industrial societies was either to grow or hunt food, and unoccupied moments were spent in various group-plays. Life was simple and everybody knew everything he needed to know for his social cultural and political survival. In consumer culture endeavors of significant segment of population are not channeled in food-related concerns. Groups-plays are possible at a very limited scale, as people have neither time nor familiarity with people nearby nor has physical power comparable to that of inhab...

Communication___ the transmission of ideas, feelings, attitudes, and experiences__ was not meditated by technologies of communication. However, as is the case today, communication flows were superintended by dominant institutions. Lines of authority and personnel contact were well delineated, and ruling inter...
