MPM 05 Critical Philosophy of God 2 Cr
The most debated question today is: What do you mean by God? The core meaning of onto-theology is that God is reduced to a Being. This course aims at critically exploring God-concepts elucidated by philosophers and finding out new ways in which God’s nature, existence and relationship at the world can be understood as accessible to human reason without explicit reference to supernatural revelation.

MPM 06 Upanisadic Exegesis 2 Cr

They have indeed played a leading role in the development of Indian Philosophy through the centuries. In this course, the fundamental teachings of the Upanisads such as the non-duality of Atman and Brahman, the Mahavakyas, the concepts of bondage and liberation are taken up. A detailed textual analysis of one of the principal Upanisads is also part of this study.

MPM 07 Philosophy of Saiva-siddhanta 2 Cr
Even though Siva is one of the oldest deities being worshipped in human society, large portions of Saivism’s philosophical and mythic tradition remain untranslated and unexplored. Its ritual life, poetry, symbol systems, and mystical heritage have yet to be fully comprehended even by the most sensitive and conscientious of scholars; the processes by which Saivism has changed in history, has adopted to cultural and societal factors and has, in turn shaped society, the arts, and history can yet give social scientists and humanists alike insight into the dynamics of religion’s persistence and change in the history of man. This course offers insight into the historical background of and basic teachings of Saiva Siddhānta and the aspect of love in Saiva Siddhānta.

MPM 08 Vīraśaivism: A Philosophical and Religious System of Saivism 2 Cr
This course of two credits presents with the detailed information on the origin and development of the philosophy of Virasaivism as well as deals with its emergence as Lingayatism; a popular Hindu religious sect in Karnataka. Though the doctrinal origin of Virasaivism is attributed to Panca Acaryas, the movement was popularized in the 12th century A.D. by Basavanna and other sivasaranas, the socio-religious seers who saw beyond their own time and developed its own philosophical and religious structures and metaphysical concepts. The philosophy of Virasaivism is monism, called as Saktivisisadvaita. Accordingly, for a Virasaivite, Sactala is the body, Pancacara is the life breath and Astavaranas is the soul. This involves treading the path of righteousness, worshiping Istalinga and following the path of Kāyaka and Dāsoha for achieving the spiritual perfection. The course also involves the task of exegetical and hermeneutical analysis of Vacanas.

MPE 01 Philosophy of History 2 Cr
This brief course is more in the nature of introduction to the topic and highlighting the relevant problem confronting the writing of history. What is objective and subjective in historiography? Is it verifiable? How far is it scientific? Can we ever succeed in reaching the events as they occurred and describe them consistent with reality? Is there a political twist to writing history? Do vested interests play a part in concocting history? What are the norms of truth that could topple such attempts? The epistemological problems connected with the question will be pointed out. The history of Philosophy of history will be described briefly judging impartially (to the extent possible)the attempts made by many who tried to interpret history with varied success.

MPE 04 Fides et Ratio 2 Cr
This course analyses the 13th Encyclical letter of Pope John Paul II, promulgated on 14th September 1998. The central concern of the Encyclical is to highlight the role of Reason in the search oftruth. That is why the Holy Father begins this document saying, “Faith and Reason are like the two wings of a bird”. This study helps us to build a bridge between faith and reason, philosophy and theology.

MPE 09 “Mystery of Being” 2 Cr
Being or Existence is a fundamental concern of Man. Though being is intelligible, it has its existence independent of human knowledge. Though being cries out to be known, it refuses to be known comprehensively and exhaustively. It is because of this nature of being escapes all definitions. Since we cannot exhaust a being we call it a mystery. In the first part, the treatise deals with the understanding of two fundamental terms: Mystery and Being. The second part leads the student to find his meaning in relation to theInfinite Being leading to a deeper perception of Theodicy.

MPS 03 Globalization 2 Cr
Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world. This current wave of globalization has been driven by policies that have opened economies domestically and internationally. Taking advantage of new opportunities in foreign markets, corporations have built foreign factories and established production and marketing arrangements with foreign partners. A defining feature of globalization, therefore, is an international industrial and financial business structure. Globalization has taken the present form of amazing speed. This speedy change that was started in recent years is the latest phase of this process which is as old as humanity itself.
