Humanism as a Philosophical Foundation in the Thought of Rabindranath Tagore

Abstract

Humanism is the calmest and most appealing term, and the idea itself is good and reasonable. Humanism is the belief that all sentient beings, including non-sentient ones, have inherent moral value and a duty to aid one another in their pursuit of happiness and survival. Among the many honest Indian logicians, Rabindranath Tagore stood out as the most devout. Some of his ranks and traineeships also hint at his humanist worldview. The same can be said of the limericks he wrote in his later years. Tagore’s idea of interpersonal attachment is central to his global humanism. He has spoken extensively and with great fervor on the ontological prestige of man in eccentric magnitudes and the exposure of the denotation in kin to nature and ways of inter-personal attachment. Humanism’s brazenness is often attributed to Renaissance Western Europe, or so the story goes. Despite being the philosophical center of “the Humanism in the East,” the emphasis placed on man’s ability to articulate his perceptual and transcendent sovereignty through language stands out. The ultimate entity of the Eastern Humanist tradition is the type of Humanism as espoused by Tagore, which seeks chap in human reality beyond his confines and differences. Under Rabindra Nath Tagore’s watchful eye, the triumph of universality in human actuality gives rise to the philosophy of universal humanism, which is to be understood here as Humanism in the modern transnational and international context. As required to show how his definition of humanism is the same as interpersonal connection.
