Khuram Rafique Babar
I am Khuram. Here, in this blog, I have tried to explain my points of views that mostly relate to the Philosophy of Mind and Knowledge. Most of my small articles on these issues are interlinked in the sense that I may have defined some concept in one article whereas I might refer to that concept in another discussion of some other article. So essentially, there is no starting or ending point of my writings. If I have to understand my own self, then I should try to understand all my small articles and just how they are interlinked with one another. My other topics include General Philosophy as well as Philosophy of Science. Some of my writings also relate to National and International Affairs.

My heartiest congratulations for such a sophisticated, more important meaningful website. I liked colour scheme the most and the “anchor-type” symbol which is the indispensable element of the TEMPLATE/THEME you chose while building this page of yours. I would definitely like to comment on your pieces, but I ll do it after I become able to learn a bit of philosophy.
Keep writing,
All the best for your Career.aameen.

Asslam u allikum Khurrum,
Its really an inspiration to have a philosophical and creative person like you within an easy access. Your diligent work will prove an inspiration for all the readers Inshahllah.

Salaam,
Dear Khurram (Ambassador), i’m realy impressed by the great mission you’ve undertaken. Finally, the best philosopher-cum-thinker in the world, known to me, is out on a peregrination to explore the most sensitive part of the most complex machine i.e. human brain.
Brother, keep the good work up. I’ll be observing your moves closely, lest you fall into the evil trap of dilemma.
Best of luck, with regards,

Hey Khurram!
It’s really cool to see you undertaking such a wonderful and amazing endeavour. Though I didn’t read all the stuff, but surely now I’ll take some time to read all the awesome things you have contributed here. You rock!!!!!Keep it up!!!!!!!!

Your posts attract with the simplicity of the writing that convince much more than the most argumentated reasoning can do. Thank you. I am glad to come to your blog and to rest in the sincerity. However, in case we have started the talk over the essence of openheartedly, I must say that it is possible either to love or to talk about the love.
Your wish to describe human mind looks grand, yet is it possible? One leaves the footprints, other examine them. However, the both are lead not by their understanding of the reality that they encounter and leave behind but by the divine light that gifts as the life as the goal to discover the Creator of all for to enjoy the divine presence and to grow in gratitude to God.

@ Tomas
Thanks a lot for your comments. I must say that description of human mind is not possible. The possible thing is the description of our understanding of mind. We should hope that our own understanding, at least would partially give the discription of pure human mind also.
And yes,, our understandings themselves are the precious gifts by the Creator of all. Thats why we should hope that our own understandings must contain, however limited, the element of reality also.

well,excellent khuram,

December 26, 2006 at 6:30 pm

Khuram,
I looked at some articles on your website, including the section on probability as you suggested. There seems to be a common pattern to your writings. You display a faulty understanding of a concept and then declare the concept invalid. For example, you declare the theory of probability invalid because you actually threw a dice 102 times and didn’t get exactly 17 occurences of ‘3′ . Well, it is your understanding that is invalid and not the theory of probability. Same applies to several other articles of yours.
It is apparent from the length of your articles that you have a lot of passion and energy for learning. It is my sincere advice that you seek guidance from qualified scholars on matters that interest you.
February 7, 2007 at 6:10 pm
Khurram,,
Thanks for your comments. If you had read that article then you should not have missed the core point that logical relationship of top number is with just how i.e. at which angle and with how much force that dice was thrown. Top number has no logical relation with the number of times the dice was thrown. Secondly you have not proved any invalidity in my understanding. According to your logic, since my understanding is invalid, so my views on probability are also invalid.
Anyway, my detailed reply is due on right place.
Regards!

It was a pleasure to read a few of your posts, i have added you to my blog roll, hope to read a lot more of your interesting writing……

i would appreciate if any one of you including Mr.Khurram explains here following four concepts with some comparative analysis
1. wahadat ul wajood
2.wahadat ul shahood
3. Existentialism
4. Allama iqbal’s philosophy of Khudi

I loved your piece on the Mutazilites. This is a much-overlooked period of Islamic history and philosophy, particularly because of its appeal to westerners.
It is interesting to note that the Umayyad caliphs and the Jacobite kings used the sophism of divine right to justify their existence. Perhaps this points out that the real clash is not between civilisations but between the rulers and the ruled. What if we should just ignore them and speak to each other directly by twinning people instead of cities. It would stop a lot of trouble.
Thanks
