“…As it is coextensive to the dominant epistemologies, it is impossible to remain wholly within rupture. What remains after the break is not the rupture but a new epistemological system of being—which will, in time, be broken from as well” (Kingsmith 2017 : 596–597). Therefore, the epistemic rupture has a nuanced underpinning.…”

Negation has occupied a unique place in the history of ideas. Negation as opposed to truth-conditional affirmation has been very much present in Indian and Western thought from very early times. R. S. Bhatnagar of happy memory (1933–2019) in his “Many Splendoured Negation” (Bhatnagar in J Indian Counc Philos Res XXII(3):83–906, 2006) had shown many a facet that could be construed in “negation”. This paper is an attempt to revisit the notion of negation that R. S. Bhatnagar brought to light and to further the germane thought that he had outlined in his concise exposé. Though Bhatnagar had stated that there could be negative and positive functions of negations, a vigilant reading of his article shows that the primary import of Bhatnagar is to examine the positive function of negation. According to R. S. Bhatnagar, even death, which could be the negative in its most feared form, the reality of which, has the positive effect on the soul force in its commitment to live well and die well. R. S. Bhatnagar’s engagement with negation is not complete unless one takes into consideration “negation” as an integral part of philosophizing in India, whether it is the Buddhist tradition or any other tradition. One encounters the philosophical “exercise” on negation enormously in Buddhist thought. The first part of the paper is a brief discussion on the views of Bhatnagar in his essay mentioned with the author’s considerable add-on, while the second part brings home the Buddhist facet and paradigm of negation, the missing link in Bhatnagar. The third part of the paper is an unveilment of the cogitation of R. S. Bhatnagar on “death” in terms of negation.

“…According to Rousseau, morals were directly involved in the leadership ability of a ruler (Rousseau, 2016). According to Hobbes, if two men held their interest in a common thing that they could not both enjoy, they became enemies (Kingsmith, 2017). He asserted that those living in the same natural state were regularly at war and did not differentiate the right from wrong.…”

The relationship between moral ideals, politics, and education has been discussed by philosophers such as Machiavelli and Hobbes in their normative ideals associated with political realism, morals, and education. There is a symbiotic association between education, politics and morals ideal. This is because politics influences education and vice versa. The presence or lack of education impacts the combined values, goals, morals, and intellect of the body politic. In other words, the level of education in a society or the way the society is educated will influence the kind of people who will get into power and hold office and the moral ideals they will possess. Also, leaders getting into office need to possess good morals that can be acquired through education. Besides, it will determine the strategy used to get people into office and how much control and power those in office have. Education also determines the type of laws and morals that are deliberated sensible and insensible and how those who have been elected to represent the society or country will establish, promote, and govern educational institutions. There is a connection between Machiavelli and Hobbes’ moral ideals and education as identified in this paper. This essay uses “generation Z” students in higher education to show how Hobbes’s educational theories and moral ideals apply in the real world. In his educational theory, Hobbies suggests that teachers should use methods of teaching take into consideration the characteristics of the generation Z and also the curriculum should include the teaching of morals because this generation is going through many challenges.

“…Then, in the 1960s and 1970s, Indigenous peoples drove a resurgence of community-based planning, a renewal of Indigenous planning. It was part of an “epistemological disruption” (Kingsmith 2017) in planning generally, an evolution from thinking about what planning should be to empirical studies of what planners do —to studies of and critical reflection on actual planning institutions and practices, listening to the language of planning practitioners and those who are affected by them (Healey 2012; Innes and Booher 2015; Teitz 2000). The result for Indigenous planning was that by the 1980s, a new era of “self-determination” had emerged as Indigenous peoples regained control and were able to begin shaping planning institutions to their own purposes.…”

Indigenous Planning: From Forced Assimilation to Self-determination

Interest in Indigenous planning has blossomed in recent years, particularly as it relates to the Indigenous response to settler colonialism. Driven by land and resource hunger, settler states strove to extinguish Indigenous land rights and ultimately to destroy Indigenous cultures. However, Indigenous peoples have persisted. This article draws on the literature to examine the resistance of Indigenous peoples to settler colonialism, their resilience, and the resurgence of Indigenous planning as a vehicle for Indigenous peoples to determine their own fate and to enact their own conceptions of self-determination and self-governance.
