The Stillborn God Analysis - eNotes.com
https://www.enotes.com › Study Guides
Dive deep into Mark Lilla's The Stillborn God with extended analysis, commentary, and discussion.
Hobbes, in Lilla’s view, was the author of what Lilla calls the “Great Separation,” since Hobbes showed the way for talking about both politics and religion in naturalistic terms, in place of considering nature and politics from the perspective of theology. Even those, such as philosopher John Locke, who disagreed with the view of the nature of humanity presented by Hobbes tended to follow Hobbes in focusing on human experience rather than on divine order. After Hobbes forced faith and authority apart, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Immanuel Kant brought them back together

Chakras are related to the hierarchy of the 5 senses, which describe multiple planes of existence from gross to subtle. This idea, originally from the Sāmkhya system, is unique to Indian systems of philosophy. The Dēvas are the principal components across each of these planes.
We don't follow things written in any Hindu scripture because of Macaulay effect. We hesitate wearing any religious symbol because that makes us look uncool. But we badly fear Islam and Sharia and want to chill in Malls. So we are self certified great Hindus. Okay!
Brilliant! I will go further & say that Gandhism & its progeny RSS are not products of Vedic Shakti-worship but of Christian masochism transmitted to them via Ramakrishna Mission & Left-wing guilt-mongering. https://t.co/Yxzx9wlyQd

Hugo, Quinet and Michelet were part of the Romantic movement in one way or another. So were the poets Lamartine, de Vigny, Leconte de l’Isle, and many others who all liberally drank deep at India’s fountains, some to the point of inebriation. -Michel Danino

The illusion of prosperity-China’s orgy of infrastructure spending
Absolutely must read for fans of state capitalism
China’s central planners haven’t even begun to appreciate, let alone practice, the lessons of the great urbanist Jane Jacobs, who viewed cities and the socioeconomic processes that go on in them as largely the result of spontaneous, unplanned entrepreneurial development. As an economist quoted in the Washington Post article points out,
Urbanization and modernization are processes that naturally take place.… You can’t force it to happen or have 1,000 places copy the same model.
Root for capitalism, not state capitalism. For freedom by right, not a little more by permission.

This mire must harbour the orchid and the rose,
From her blind unwilling substance must emerge
A beauty that belongs to happier spheres.
- Sri Aurobindo ("SAVITRI")
