Kantian Justice or Upanishadic Justice

 Depending upon ChatGPT heavily with little bit of reading on Doctrine of Rights and Doctrine of Virtue in past and with deep desire to appreciate Kants morality but equally unsatisfied soul I am making some points:

1. Universal one can be ascribed to only one i.e. Ultimate or Brahaman to which we could not even say truth, God or anything as it is free from any qualities (Nirgunna) and name is representation of quality,

2. Everything other than that is in Law of their own,

3. When everything else including Human being who desires to establish set of laws for themselves also hold different qualities and hence their own Law,

4. Universalizing everything else is contrary to the idea of universe itself,

5. Hence, to base Law and Morality to universal reasoning or universalizing the situation is infeasible 

for eg. Doctor operates x's eyes and x lost them, now universalizing behavior of Doctor what if everyone operate in that method and loose their eyes, it is not feasible hence the action is in appropriate. But every new tech or method has ever been tested and tried and so many people benefited from it their Kant will fail to apply this universal reasoning. Doctor with his/her best effort may not be able to cure eyes, it can never be universalize. For every time, time is changing and hence the reality of nature. 

6. How can universal law play role? Upanishad has simple model only that which has no quality is universal and everything else is in aspiration to reach or to know or get closer proximity with it. Everything that is in line with this action is morale and law should uphold it. Here, non-violence is not fear of destruction in human civilization nor utility nor anything else, since origin of every being is form that one and all are aspiring to that one, to have oneself is not in nature hence it is right thing to do by not harming others considering themselves like one in aspiration. Whatever I wish for myself in this path of supreme realization should be and would be wished for others as they are comrade of this realization. 

7. Arguments are weak against Kant but clearly there is progress from insight to ideas is beautiful.

Sustainable development of Life

 XYZ whatever be the technicalities of a life process, the origin is, as I am convinced at this point of time, nothing but wish of Nature or who create the nature. The sole purpose of life is to consume itself. Consume is really the worst word in this context. Let me say to observe the beauty of itself by itself. Hence, we are designed in such a way with such and such purposes by the ultimate guiding truth which is ever full of knowledge of all kind. It can do anything (proof: various form of lives), it is evolved or it is ordained by truth can be a debate. Base of life is nature or life (especially human) struggle with nature to evolve itself. First one provide possibilities of re-creation of more sophisticated or more adaptable life suitable to the nature at that point of time, second is more egoist approach to life and claim nature as nothing but inert objects which are subject to enjoyment or preservation for enjoyment in future (as now discussed in the name of sustainable deve...

Ethics : Dharma of Individual (Yoga Sutra)

 Ethics as virtue-  it is collection of desirable action for sustaining society. [dying for group's belief ] Ethics as utility- it is collection of desirable action for sustaining society and more rudely exchanged in name of utility, often society can buy desirable action for society and tag it with ethics. [dying in poverty is ethical but to save life by robbery is not] Ethics of universal rationality- whatever action that can be universalized is ethical and others are not. collectively it again universalize social needs over individual {I am deficient here....} Ethics of social contract- here even an attempt to hide the social behavior and labeling it as ethics has been withdrawn [collective interest labeled as ethics] In my limited understanding these alternatives, individuality is easily coerced by society. But these definitions are not capable to define anything at all. Many things now called Ethics are borrowed from religion. Mainly non-violence and etc. can be traced di...

Dharma Ra Nyaya-1

 In no way I am writing with any certainty about these words or realities or whatever phenomena they are. But with quite a discussion with a learned friend of mine, clarity of thoughts seems to built within. However, from very surface reading and my own biases, Dharma and Nyaya have been same thing for me. Naya here is not a branch of philosophy rather justice in its strict sense.  What is Nyaya? In its day-to-day life, a decision by court of justice is itself justice. One can try to cry over and over yet in short run whatever a reason of court is will be justice. However, in truth, justice is related with what a pure human consciousness guide the human being as a justice is justice. Qualifying consciousness with purity may be a false attempt to define something undefined. Here, purity of reason can do good work. With hope , purity of reason coincide with one true reason by all human being. With a good wish, many have found to place great trust in universal reason or something...
