Tagore Einstein and the Nature of Reality Literary and Philosophical Reflections

This volume consists of a selection of scholarly essays from literature philosophy and history on the conception of reality as understood by Rabindranath Tagore and Albert Einstein. The nature of reality has been a long-debated issue among scientists and philosophers. Tagore (1861–1941) met Einstein (1879–1955) at the latter’s house in Kaputh Germany on 14 July 1930 and had a long conversation on this issue. This conversation has been widely quoted and discussed by scientists philosophers and scholars from the literary world. The important question that Tagore and Einstein discussed was whether the world is a unity dependent on humanity or the world is a reality independent of the human factor. Einstein believed that reality is independent of the mind and the human factor. On the other hand Tagore adopted the opposite view. Nevertheless both Einstein and Tagore claimed to be realists — their conceptions of reality were obviously fundamentally different. Where does the difference lie? Can it be harmonized at a deeper level? This volume brings together for the first time a gamut of views on this subject from eminent scholars. It presents some key reflections on reality language poetry truth science personality human sciences virtue ethics intelligibility and creativity. It will be useful to scholars and researchers of philosophy literature history and political studies as also to those interested in Tagore. | Tagore Einstein and the Nature of Reality Literary and Philosophical Reflections
