Abstract: | "The nature of reality has been a long-debated issue among scientists and philosophers. Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) met Albert Einstein (1879-1955) at the latter's house in Kaputh, Germany on 14th July 1930 and had a long conversation on the nature of reality. 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 on the human factor. Einstein took the stand adopted that reality is something 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 some deeper level? Can Wittgenstein, for example, be a bridge between the two views? This volume consists of a selection of scholarly essays from the points of view of literature and philosophy and history and brings together for the first time a gamut of views on this important subject from scholars of eminence. It will be useful for scholars and researchers of philosophy, literature, history and political studies"-- |
