Guha Majumdar Frames Iśvara As Ontological Ground
Dr Mrittunjoy Guha Majumdar, a Cambridge-trained physicist, in The Logic of Ish (MLBD, Rs 829) argues that Iśvara is not an external creator but the ontological ground of order and consciousness. Drawing on 11th-century Naiyāyika Udayanācārya, Nyāya-Vedānta, quantum mechanics, evolution and information theory, he positions chaitanya (consciousness) as a foundational principle that contextualizes rather than replaces natural selection.
Key Points
- 1Reframes Iśvara as ontological ground, not an external creator, using Nyāya-Vedānta arguments
- 2Links classical logic (Udayanācārya) with quantum, evolutionary and information theories to argue necessity
- 3Implies practitioners should contextualize natural selection within a consciousness-as-ground metaphysical framework
Scoring Rationale
Interdisciplinary philosophical framing provides fresh perspective; limited practical impact and niche academic scope constrains broader relevance.
