This comprehensive volume explores histories and modern reworkings
of the ideas of mind, soul and consciousness in South Asia. It
focuses on the burgeoning 'psy-disciplines' - psychology,
psychiatry, psychotherapy - and their links with religion, science,
philosophy, and modern notions of the mystical and spiritual, not
just in South Asia, but around the world. The authors explore the
global flows of ideas that gathered pace during the late nineteenth
and twentieth centuries, including: the idea(s) of self within
'Hindu modernities'; the history of relativity of consciousness in
Jaina epistemology; Jungian critiques of Cartesian rationalism;
Islamic reform vis-a-vis Sufi mysticism; and the re-examination and
invocations of key strands of the fields of 'Indian philosophy' and
the 'psy-disciplines' in modern India. Together these chapters
stoke a critical engagement with existing conceptual boundaries and
categories of mind, soul, consciousness, and body-mind relationship
in modern Asian and European spiritual and intellectual traditions.
This book will interest scholars and students of cross-cultural
philosophy, intellectual history, history of religion, religious
studies, and history of the mind sciences. It was originally
published as a special issue of the journal South Asian History and
Culture.

Computational Science and Engineering contains peer-reviewed
research presented at the International Conference on Computational
Science and Engineering (RCC Institute of Information Technology,
Kolkata, India, 4-6 October 2016). The contributions cover a wide
range of topics: - electronic devices - photonics -
electromagnetics - soft computing - artificial intelligence -
modern communication systems Focussing on strong theoretical and
methodological approaches and applications, Computational Science
and Engineering will be of interest to academia and professionals
involved or interested in the above mentioned domains.
This book is a useful guide for the teaching fraternity,
administrators and education technology professionals to make good
use of AI across outcome-based technical education (OBTE) ecosystem
and infuse innovations and affordable digital technologies to
traditional pedagogic processes to make teaching-learning more
independent of human factor (teacher/student quality), time and
place and at the same time more impactful and enjoyable for the
learners. Providing access to the digital media and learning tools
(even to the extent of mobile apps) to the students would allow
them to keep pace with innovations in learning technologies, learn
according to their own pace and improve their understanding level
and have instantaneous feedback and evaluation. The book explores
these new challenges and scope of using computational intelligence
in educational technology. The book also addresses how based on the
data collected from the outcome of conventional educational system,
intelligent diagnostic and feedback system is developed which will
change the teaching strategies and corresponding teaching-learning
process. The book covers a wider framework of digital pedagogy and
its intelligent applications on various sectors of education
system.
