Tradition & Modernity
Study Seminars
Pakistani culture can best be described as an uneasy intersection
between the two currents of Modernity and Tradition. The tensions generated
between these often competing currents and the accompanying crisis of identity
which we face as a nation is to a great extent a result of being ill-informed
of the underlying foundations of both Modernity and Tradition. Where the one is
sees as a matter of faith, identity and values the other although espousing
quite different values is often seen as a natural and inevitable process of
history.
The
Tradition and Modernity Study Seminars aim to provide an introduction to the philosophical and
intellectual foundations of both 'Tradition' and 'Modernity' so as to enable
students to look at themselves and their contemporary situation in a wider
philosophical context. It aims to develop not only an understanding and
appreciation of traditional thought and art but also their relevance and need
for today.
The
Tradition & Modernity Study Seminars includes an introduction to traditional
thought including philosophy, metaphysics, cosmology, and arts such as
calligraphy, miniature painting and architecture.
It perhaps needs to be clarified that the word 'tradition' is not used in the everyday sense of
signifying something connected to the past. The word is used in a particular
sense, where 'tradition' signifies a sacred 'world-view' according to which
both Nature and Man are seen as having their roots in and as manifestations of
a Divine Source. Similarly the term
'Modernity' is not used in the everyday sense of 'contemporary' but stands
for the dominant world-view of the past few centuries originating in the
Post-Renaissance Age of Enlightenment in 18th century Europe and the
accompanying Scientific Revolution. Born during the Renaissance in the 14th
Century this view is rooted in the philosophies of Humanism, Rationalism and
Materialism from which emerge the notions of Individualism and Democracy on the
one hand and materialist Science on the other.
Seminars:
Each Study Seminar is a short, intensive program of 3 days, of 3
hours per day, that is a total of 9 hours of learning with a concise overview, discussion, readings and audio-visual material of basic concepts and vocabulary.
