Me, my work and AI
This study investigates the introduction of AI in the field of radiology through a multi-level analysis (individuals, organization, and profession). Drawing on in-depth interviews with 54 participants (radiologists, radiological technologists, managers, hospital directors, and engineers), we examined how radiologists perceive AI and respond through job crafting behaviors and identity work. The findings reveal three categories of job crafting: app…
Critique and Catharsis
The popularization of Madhva’s realist Vedānta was accompanied by forceful critiques of its alleged enemies. Although the movement’s challenges to other Vedāntas has been well studied, its sustained engagement with Jainism has not. The anti-Jain writings of Madhva’s followers offer an important but neglected perspective on the early history of Mādhva Vedānta and its rise to power. This article examines the anti-Jain polemics of an influential int…
Before the Reign of Realism
The papers in this issue were first presented at the 48th annual conference on South Asia at Madison, Wisconsin.The purpose of the panel was to bring needed scholarly attention to the Vedāntic 'realism' attributed to Madhva (c.1238-1317)-so termed for its rejection of Śaṅkara's monistic 'idealism.'Madhva's Vedānta has had an enormous impact on religious, cultural, and political life in southern India and the Deccan.But the quantity of critical sc…
Practices of Commentary
Oral Commentaries and Scholarly Debates in Sanskrit Philosophy
Over the fall and winter of 2020–2021, students and faculty at the University of Toronto, Canada, and Manipal Academy of Higher Education, India, came together to study with two renowned scholars of classical Sanskrit knowledge systems: Shree Vidyashreesha Tirtha (formerly Dr. D. Prahladacharya) and Dr. Mani Dravid Shastrigal. As in many traditional learning contexts, the pandits used oral commentary in Sanskrit to guide students through Sanskrit…
Religiosity and Political Tolerance
Political tolerance –– the willingness to afford basic civil rights to individuals or groups that one finds disagreeable –– is fundamental to liberal democracy. For several decades, political scientists believed that widespread religious adherence in the United States threatened political tolerance. Recent research casts doubt on the direct relationship between religiosity and political tolerance. However, this research is based on decades-old…
Social justice and the distribution of republican freedom
A republican theory of social justice specifies how republican freedom should be distributed. The goal of this paper is to assess the plausibility of two recently proposed principles of republican social justice: an aggregative maximizing principle defended by Philip Pettit in Republicanism and a sufficiency principle of republican social justice offered by Pettit in On the People’s Terms. The maximizing principle must be rejected because it perm…
The Language of Legitimacy and Decline
Pluralizing the Non-dual
From Adam to ʿĀdil Shāh
Despite the Tārīkh-i Firishteh ’s continued importance for scholarship on early-modern South Asia, little attention has been paid to analyzing the text’s introduction, where its author, Muḥammad Qāsim Astarābādī (Firishteh), articulates a conception of historical time in part by critiquing the Mahabharata . Existing scholarship on the Introduction has invoked the conceptual framework of ‘encounters’ between Persianate and Sanskritic cultural sphe…
The Religious Content of the Presidents' Remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast, 1953–2016
Delivered by every president since Eisenhower (and annually since 1961), the presidents' remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast represent the most succinct presidential expressions of religion in the United States over the past seven decades. This descriptive article of the religious content of those remarks explores the ways presidents have talked about God, prayer, faith, and the Bible. Recent presidents are much more likely to mention God, e…
