Your post is more read-worthy than the prize would indicate it to be so. <br /><br />In my quest towards Generalized knowledge, I pursued philosophical studies in India itself, and what you say is right, even a course in philosophy is designed to create specialists in historical thought rather than critical thinking. I did come across one analogy of how Generalized knowledge gives a better world-view and hence I decided to leave a comment. Its an metaphor used by Peter Senge (in his management book "The Fifth Discipline") to put forth a 'systems thinking' perspective. Breaking down knowledge into specialized areas, he says, is like breaking a mirror into pieces. Once broken, the pieces can never be put together to get the "bigger picture" again. Generalists see the bigger picture - the whole as the whole, and not merely as a sum of the parts. <br /><br />Philosophy does say that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

A government that promotes religion, or even refrains from promoting people that gives critique on it, could in some cases be a sensible and peace-promoting thing to do (as you well pointed out) rather than stirring up antagonism for the "sake of democracy/secularism". The kind of people who feel a need to take part of the ideas of mr Rushdie or others will do so; regardless if he/they is/are censored or not. The author of the article you refer to seems to be calling out for "a universe built around citizenship and rights"; and here I thought that the state was obliged to safeguard freedom of religion?<br /><br />Anyway, it is a nice and thought-provoking respone you did there...johandalberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487398795068776401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4788425381858136865.post-1138199248289280072011-12-22T07:50:14.732+05:302011-12-22T07:50:14.732+05:30thanks Johan et Vinod!
