DHARMARAJA YUDHISTHIRA ASA FAILED TIME-BINDER AS WELL ASA WRONG EVALUATOR
by
Chauhan, Devyani A
in
Historians
2022
As said by Alfred Korzybski, time-binding is the most prevalent ability, which is by and large clubbed the spiritual or mental ability of man as it makes erstwhile accomplishments subsist in the present and present enterprises in futurity. It is an ability that facilitates; it is an ability that brings about; it is an ability that can decipher the past and forecast the future; it is a historian as well as a prophet; it is an ability that loads abstract time, the vehicle of events, with an ever-accumulating obligation of double-dome accomplishments, of spiritual bushel predestined for the refinement of thought, manners, or taste of all future generations. But unfortunately, some people infelicitously employ this ability and because of that, they and the people around them face many disastrous causes as a consequence. Dharmaraja Yudhisthira is a failed time-binder, and a wrong evaluator as well. Even after getting horribly humiliated by the Kauravas, Yudhisthira accepts the second proposal sent by Duryodhana and Shakuni. Pitamah Bhishma warned Yudhisthira not to fall into their trap, but Yudhisthira, being a follower of Dharma and a King, accepts their second proposal and plays the dice game. He even evaluates Duryodhana wrongly while accepting the proposal. He accepts the punishment as it was declared without any objections. At that time, if he had allowed Pitamah Bhishma and other elders to have a talk over the given punishment, the consequences could have been in their part. But the latter never happened and it resulted into The Grand War of Kurukshetra.

\Written by the Finger of God\: C.S. Lewis and Historical Judgement
2020
Lewis's distrust of scientific laws for history, rather than undercutting his practice of literary history, existed alongside a basic, cautionary trust in representing the past. His methods of history writing included offering an overall plot, developing characters and corporate quasi-characters, and making analogies with the present to increase readerly sympathy (or antipathy) with long-gone cultures. Despite his strong rhetorical tendency to generalize, Lewis did not place absolute faith in his historical narratives. They were made to be argued with, supplemented, and even over-turned. The article pays particular attention to three documents from Lewis's career as a literary historian: 1) his 1945 essay, \"Addison\"; 2) his two-day address in 1956 to the Cambridge Zoological Laboratory, \"Imagination and Thought in the Middle Ages\"; and 3) the opening introduction to his monumental English Literature in the Sixteenth Century, Excluding Drama. Likewise, it examines his overall attitude toward historiography, which requires a theological structure to position his suspended middle of historical and ethical judgments.

The Research Agenda of Zhu Qiqian
by
Hofmann, Martin
in
Historians
2020
As a researcher, Zhu Qiqian 朱啟鈐 (1872-1964) is commonly known as the founding father of Chinese architectural history. Consequently, his work has been analyzed predominantly by architectural historians and in the context of architectural history. However, this lopsided perception distorts and obscures Zhu’s comprehensive research objectives and his contribution to a variety of fields, in particular his attempt to reframe and thoroughly investigate the history of Chinese traditional crafts. In order to reveal the intended scope and the unique approach of Zhu’s studies, this article analyzes the motivations behind Zhu Qiqian’s engagement with traditional craftsmanship, the far-reaching program of the research group he established, and one of his main research projects, the Zhejianglu 哲匠錄 (Collected Biographies of Master Craftsmen).
