Classical Samkhya and Yoga

Classical Samkhya and Yoga

Mikel Burley

Routledge
2006
sidottu
Samkhya and Yoga are two of the oldest and most influential systems of classical Indian philosophy. This book provides a thorough analysis of the systems in order to fully understand Indian philosophy. Placing particular emphasis on the metaphysical schema which underlies both concepts, the author adeptly develops a new interpretation of the standard views on Samkhya and Yoga. Drawing upon existing sources and using insights from both Eastern and Western philosophy and religious practice, this comprehensive interpretation is respectful to the underlying spiritual purpose of the Indian systems. It serves to illuminate the relation between the theoretical and practical dimensions of Samkhya and Yoga. The book fills a gap in current scholarship and will be of interest to those concerned with Indology as well as philosophies in general and their similarities and differences with other traditions.

A Radical Pluralist Philosophy of Religion

A Radical Pluralist Philosophy of Religion

Mikel Burley

Bloomsbury Academic
2020
sidottu
This book is a unique introduction to studying the philosophy of religion, drawing on a wide range of cultures and literary sources in an approach that is both methodologically innovative and expansive in its cross-cultural and multi-religious scope. Employing his expertise in interdisciplinary and Wittgenstein-influenced methods, Mikel Burley draws on works of ethnography and narrative fiction, including Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov and Soyinka’s Death and the King’s Horseman, to critically engage with existing approaches to the philosophy of religion and advocate a radical, pluralist approach. Breaking away from the standard fixation on a narrow construal of theism, topics discussed include conceptions of compassion in Buddhist ethics, cannibalism in mortuary rituals, divine possession and animal sacrifice in Hindu Goddess worship and animism in indigenous traditions. Original and engaging, Burley’s synthesis of philosophical, anthropological and literary elements expands and diversifies the philosophy of religion, providing an essential introduction for anyone interested in studying the radical plurality of forms that religion takes in human life.

Contemplating Religious Forms of Life: Wittgenstein and D.Z. Phillips

Contemplating Religious Forms of Life: Wittgenstein and D.Z. Phillips

Mikel Burley

Bloomsbury Continuum
2012
nidottu
Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) made profound contributions to many areas of philosophy and cultural understanding, and his thought and methods have inspired numerous inquirers into the forms of our religious life. D. Z. Phillips (1934-2006) pioneered the application of Wittgenstein-influenced approaches to the philosophy of religion, and emphasized the contemplative, non-dogmatic nature of the philosophical task. In Contemplating Religious Forms of Life, Mikel Burley elucidates and critically examines the work of these two philosophers in relation to various aspects of religion, including ritual, mystical experience, faith and reason, realism and non-realism, conceptions of eternal life, and the use of literature as a resource for the contemplation of religious and non-religious beliefs. The book will be of significant value to academics, students and general readers interested in philosophy, religious studies, theology, and the interrelations between these disciplines.

Rebirth and the Stream of Life

Rebirth and the Stream of Life

Mikel Burley

Bloomsbury Academic USA
2016
sidottu
Rebirth and the Stream of Life explores the diversity as well as the ethical and religious significance of rebirth beliefs, focusing especially on Hindu and Buddhist traditions but also discussing indigenous religions and ancient Greek thought. Utilizing resources from religious studies, anthropology and theology, an expanded conception of philosophy of religion is exemplified, which takes seriously lived experience rather than treating religious beliefs in isolation from their place in believers’ lives. Drawing upon his expertise in interdisciplinary working and Wittgenstein-influenced approaches, Mikel Burley examines several interrelated phenomena, including purported past-life memories, the relationship between metaphysics and ethics, efforts to ‘demythologize’ rebirth, and moral critiques of the doctrine of karma. This range of topics, with rebirth as a unifying theme, makes the book of value to anyone interested in philosophy, the study of religions, and what it means to believe that we undergo multiple lives.

Mikel lives with his wife and two children in Costur, an idyllic Spanish town surrounded by hills. He has a job selling confectionary, but Mikel is a dreamer, not a businessman, and money is tight. What’s more, the mundanity of small-town life is preventing him from fulfilling a life-long dream: to become a writer. Seeking both drama and financial security, Mikel takes a job as a bodyguard. His family is soon uprooted to the Basque country, where Mikel is charged with protecting politicians from the armed separatist group ETA. It is a job that provides drama worthy of the pagebut only at the cost of fear, uncertainty and family breakdown. In Mikel, author Mark Bellido draws on his own experiences to create a powerful and provocative story about a man who risks everything in the pursuit of a dream.

El autor es Pediatra y Capit n de Yate. Combinando sus aficiones vocacional y deportiva y con el apoyo de un numeroso grupo de m dicos, enfermeras y capitanes, organiza en Santander una actividad con ni os del Hospital Valdecilla, fundamentalmente de oncolog a, que consiste en ense arles a descubrir la navegaci n a vela, y a disfrutar de ese universo fascinante y relajante del mar, como terapia de apoyo para sus graves enfermedades. Aunque en otros pa ses es m s habitual, en Espa a esta actividad es pionera. Desde que se inici en 2003 solo se ha interrumpido en el a o 2012, cuando el autor realiz una circunnavegaci n de Espa a relatada en el libro "La vuelta a Espa a del Corto Malt s. De Santander a Santander en un velero de 6 metros", t tulo publicado por este mismo sello. Fruto de las experiencias con estos ni os y de esa cercan a con la enfermedad y la muerte surgen estos poemas. Adem s de la rima y el ritmo habituales de cualquier poes a, el autor va m s lejos combinando las letras y las frases para modelar dibujos, que ha bautizado como "dibupoemas", lo que les da un valor pl stico a adido al literario y se convierten en una nueva forma de "leer" y apreciar la poes a. Al placer habitual de la lectura relajada de un poema se a ade la intriga de descifrar el dibupoema, y posteriormente de disfrutarlo una vez que se conoce la ruta para leerlo. Ning n otro poeta lo hab a realizado hasta el momento, por lo que puede considerarse una revoluci n que al a la literatura y el dibujo.
