Readings in Modern Hinduism
$1,500.00HAM6403 – Who were the thinkers and architects of modern India? How did their views of Hinduism and of the history of Indian civilization shape their vision of the reality of post-Independence India? What projects of reform, modernization, or social change did they set in motion? In this course, we shall read extracts from the works of thinkers who articulated the concept of a “Hindu” religion, often in dialogue with Western scholars and missionaries.
We shall particularly focus on the role of an English-speaking elite in this process, especially those active in the major reform movements, Brahmo Samaj, Prarthana Samaj, and Arya Samaj. Throughout, we shall contrast traditional modes of self-relation, guided by ethical reflection and individual self-discipline (askesis), with modern views of Hinduism, including its cultural, nationalistic, and assimilated expressions.

Readings in Western Philosophy
$1,500.00HAM7405 – How can we know anything? What is the relationship of knowledge to the soul? Does the state of the soul affect what it knows? In this course, we will trace the various understandings of the soul’s relationship to knowledge through some of the classics of Western thought. We will begin with the pre-Socratic philosophers, and then look at Plato’s theory of the soul and of knowledge. We will then consider Aristotle’s classification of the intellectual virtues, and why he thought “theology” was the highest science.
After a brief look at Augustine’s attempt to harness Greek philosophy to Christianity, we will see how this project falls apart in modernity and knowledge is instead founded on the certitude of the subject in Descartes. The course concludes with a look at Kant’s “critical” project of setting boundaries to human reason and at the attempt to overcome those boundaries in the various “systems” of German Idealism, most notably by Hegel.
