Munshi Prem Chand is a well known fiction writer in Hindi language. Famous writings of this versatile genius have been translated into various languages all over the world. His short story, Kafan has been debated, discussed and analysed in manifold ways. It was and has been very difficult for the traditional moralists and even modern humanists to believe that a great writer like Prem Chand narrated the episode of the husband and the father-in-law of a deceased poor lady with their callousness carouse and pass the time of rapture in Epicurean felicity with the money ex-gratia collected for the Kafan (Shroud) for the dead body of that poor lady. Only psychological implications of what Madhav and Ghishu have thought and acted under their impulses can explain the meaning of Prem Chand’s narration in the words which appear to some extent unacceptable to moralists and humanists.

From Ancient Mythology to Modern Technology: The Historical Evolution of Artificial Intelligence

Dear Editors, Recently, a fascinating article detailing the evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) was published, as the article describes it with the bronze creature Talos from ancient Greek myths and the groundbreaking DaVinci Si and DaVinci Xi surgical systems of the modern era [1]. The interaction of ancient myths and medical technology shows how far we have come but how deeply we remain connected to our past. As the article emphasizes, Talos, described in ancient Greek literature, may be the world's first recorded concept of an automaton with Artificial Intelligence capability. Talos, created by the god Hephaestus, used his bronze form and inner fire to patrol the coasts of Crete and deter invaders [2]. The story of a machine that moves independently, driven by an energy source and following specific instructions, is astoundingly pioneering [2]. It is interesting to think that robots, an idea we usually think of as a modern concept, were present in the imagination of ancient civilizations. Leonardo da Vinci's robot knight is a moving tribute to the versatile genius of the Renaissance [3]. However, since its operation depends on external intelligence, it is not a direct precursor to the AI we know today. The article makes this distinction. However, A claim that has been presented is open to discussion. Naming AI surgical tower da Vinci is misleading, article suggests. Although Leonardo's automaton was not autonomous, its extensive notebooks testify to a questioning and innovative mind that was always pushing boundaries. In this sense, it feels appropriate to mention the name of Da Vinci, a technological marvel. The underlying sentiment is concurred with. Hephaestus' creation of Talos offers a more direct line to the concept of autonomous machines and perhaps it deserves a more prominent position in the story of the history of Artificial Intelligence. Highlighting this overlooked intersection of mythology, history, and technology is commendable. Such discussions highlight the importance of understanding our past while understanding our rapidly evolving present and future. Sincerely yours,

Among the imposing bulk of Louis Pasteur's work, his Studies on Wine are the least known and commented. However, in these Studies, collected in 1874, he displayed all the facets of his versatile genius, as a citizen, as a teacher, and as a scientist. As a chemist, he analysed the steps of vinification and the mechanisms of fermentation. As a citizen, he aimed at the improvement of an industry key to the French prosperity. He was also a man rooted in his terroir; aware of the know-how of wine makers, and a teacher working hard with his students.

THE DOCTRINE OF THE SOUL OF AL-KINDI

In this article, the authors outlines the historical role of the great Arab thinker Abu Yusuf Yaqub ibn Ishaq al-Kindi for the entire world civilization, not only as a versatile scientist, philosopher, but primarily as the founder of the Arabic translation movement. Al-Kindi stood at the origins of another intellectual trend - "falsafa". Falsafa is a doctrine based on the ancient tradition with its boundless faith in the cognitive abilities of the mind. But can al-Kindi be considered a true falasifa? To understand the versatility of his teaching, one must have an idea of the intellectual atmosphere in which the thinker lived and worked. The contradictions between reason and faith, philosophy and religion at that time were born by themselves. The translation movement only exacerbated these contradictions. Al-Kindi made a brilliant attempt to eliminate the differences and intellectual controversies surrounding the question: "Will the evidence of reason or the revelation of the prophets point the right way to the truth?" Despite the fact that the attempt was unsuccessful, it inspired al-Kindi to create his doctrine of the soul. The authors analyzes how the original teaching about the soul of al-Kindi absorbed a lot of ancient philosophical thought, but learned no less from the Holy Quran. The purpose of the authors was to show that the versatile genius of al-Kindi cannot be assessed within the framework of any teaching, even such an influential one in Arab-Muslim philosophy as falsafa.

Iqbal’s Philosophy on Islamic Education: A Historical Perspective

Philosophy is science with the facts and data naturally relating to all aspects of human life coming into existence. As it throws light onto the problem of life and human destiny, it implies and postulates education. From these two aspects come their respective angles of vision, with similar issues and problems. Such are the meaning and purpose of human life, the relationship of the individual to the community and to his environment and the problem of values. Any coherent system of ideas, which provides guidance in facing these problems or offers a thoughtful criticism of existing institutions, culture, social practices and ways of thought, must necessarily be the basis of our educational theory and practice. In this regard, having strong conviction, the authors present Allama Muhammad Iqbal has contributed invaluable provision and solution on the problem of education. This paper intends to explore his idea on the Educational Philosophy which had been elaborated by Saiyidain. There is no doubt that Iqbal is the most versatile genius that modern Muslim world has produced. It will be difficult to find many who are his equals as educators, poets in any languages of the East or the West. He may not have built any great system of philosophy like Kant or Hegel, but his philosophical thinking was extensive as well as intensive. For, education is, after all, engaged in the process of critically evaluating and effectively transmitting the cultural heritage, knowledge and ideas of a social group to its young members, thereby securing the continuity of collective life and culture as well as ensuring their intelligent, the creative reconstruction.

Exercises in Biography: The Case of Takebe Ayatari

Takebe Ayatari's J?SU^S poetry and prose are as delightful to read as his drawings and paintings are to contemplate. Since Lawrence Marceau's book contains generous translations and is lavishly illustrated, we have every reason to be grateful to him for this comprehensive study of Ayatari's life and works. The book offers the reader ample opportunity to acquaint himor herself with a versatile genius, an artist of many talents and, at the same time, a most intriguing human being. It is not a book, I fear, that one can praise for meth odological or theoretical rigor, or for the logical consistency of its argument, but if one reads it for the information it provides about Ayatari (1719-1774), it is a rich book indeed. The story of Ayatari the poet is told in chapters 2 to 5, in which Marceau follows Ayatari from 1738, when he left his hometown, Hirosaki 3/^tu, until his death in Edo in 1774. In chapter 6, devoted to Ayatari the painter, Marceau dis cusses Ayatari's paintings and haiga #H. Youth, family, and ancestors?important in Ayatari's case, because he was related to the two renowned military theorists YamagaSok? 0jffi3Rfr (1622-1685) and Daid?ji Y?zan*?#?0j (1639-1730) are treated in chapter 1. The book also includes an introduction, conclusion, and two appendices, one of which is a discussion of five extant portraits of Ayatari and the other a useful chronology, nenpu-style, of Ayatari's life. As Marceau makes abundantly clear, Ayatari led an eventful life. In his twentieth year (kazoedoshi) he was cut off by his family, banished from his domain, and cast adrift into the world without a penny to his name. For the sec ond son of one of the highest-ranking samurai families of the Hirosaki domain, who could with some confidence have expected an honorable appointment and
