Respected Faculty/Scholar\,
\nI would like to invite all academicians from all disciplines to contribute research papers and articles for our journal. Lokāyata: Journal of Positive Philosophy (ISSN 2249-8389) is a bi-annual interdisciplinary journal of the Center for Positive Philosophy and Interdisciplinary Studies (CPPIS). The name Lokāyata can be traced to Kautilya's Arthashastra\, which refers to three ānvīkṣikīs (logical philosophies)\, Yoga\, Samkhya and Lokāyata. Lokāyata here still refers to logical debate (disputatio\, "criticism") in general and not to a materialist doctrine in particular. The objectives of the journal are to encourage new thinking on concepts and theoretical frameworks in the disciplines of humanities and social sciences to disseminate such new ideas and research papers (with strong emphasis on modern implications of philosophy) which have broad relevance in society in general and man&rsquo\;s life in particular. The Centre will publish two issues of the journal every year. Each regular issue of the journal will contain full-length papers\, discussions and comments\, book reviews\, information on new books and other relevant academic information. Each issue will contain about 100 Pages.
\nTheme: Philosophy\, Education and Human Rights
\nLast date for paper submission: 31stAugust\, 2012
\nFormat of Submission: The paper should be typewritten preferably in Times New Roman with 12 font size (English) and Kruti Dev (10) with 14 font size (Hindi) in MS-Word 2003 and between 3000 to 5000 words.
