ABSTRACT | ||
In the latter half of the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, several Indian thinkers engaged in philosophy outside the boundaries of traditional Indian schools of thought. Among them, one of the greatest was Rabindranath Tagore. Though celebrated across the world as the “Poet Laureate of Bengal,” Tagore’s poems, essays, and songs reveal a deep and original vision of life and the universe with remarkable philosophical depth. His famous Hibbert Lectures were later collected and published as ‘The Religion of Man’. The title itself makes us wonder—if it’s not The Religion of God, does that mean Tagore was an atheist? However, what becomes clear through ‘The Religion of Man’ is that the central focus of Tagore’s philosophy is the human being. Naturally, this raises questions: What is the true nature of a human being? What role do humans play in this world? Was Tagore speaking about a particular community or a specific period of history? And while exploring these questions, did he turn to Advaita Vedanta for guidance? So then, what does this Religion of Man actually mean? Why did Tagore feel the need to search for a new kind of religion centred on humanity? And how does it differ from the many established religions we already know? My research paper will make a sincere attempt to explore these questions, even if only in brief. | ||
