Lifeworld is a multi-dimensional concept and reality in philosophy, social sciences and in our practice of living. The present essay explores its different meanings and interpretations starting from Edmund Husserl to Jurgen Habermas in the European intellectual tradition and Sri Aurobindo, Mahatma Gandhi, J.N. Mohanty and Margaret Chatterjee in the Indic traditions. It rethinks the Habermasian idea of colonisation of the lifeworld and argues how we need Gandhian struggles for overcoming this. It argues how lifeworld is a field of satyagraha as it exists in the midst of Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. It also argues how lifeworld is a field of lokasangraha—a gathering of people which is also related to atmasangraha—a gathering of souls. With and beyond Habermas, it argues that lifeworld is not only a field of reason but also of intuition and striving for the spiritual in the midst of many rational and infra-rational forces at work in self, culture and society. The essay then links the challenges of lifeworlds to the challenge of living words in our lives—words which give birth to new words and worlds going beyond stasis, stagnation and death of language, culture, self and society. Lifeworld is a field and flow of living worlds which have both a pragmatic and a spiritual dimension. The essay explores the border crossing between pragmatism and society and looks at lifeworlds and living words as fields of spiritual pragmatism.

Abstract: While the exhortation to patience is commonplace in literary and religious traditions acrossthe world, equally widespread are diverging etiquettes of patience and varied histories of itsreception. The focus in this essay is on the medieval reception of patience in the Islamic worldand the manifold ways in which that history has informed its modern invocations. Finally, thepolitical purchase of patience is brought under relief by juxtaposing competing languages ofstatecraft in Iran and the United States.

One of the most frequent ways of narrating everyday life in developed countries has been via the printed book. The invention of printing allowed for an ever-increasing mass production of documents of life that systematically established an era of communication and a political economy that had profound implications for the structure of living together. This article departs from the context of my own lifeworld: a lifeworld closely related to printed books. When attempting to explore and understand the overt and covert meanings embedded in the historical development of our social lives and the objects around us, we can turn for assistance to an analysis of the books on our shelves, books that have been constant companions for long periods of our lives. In this article, I propose that any valid interpretation, understanding, and depiction of social reality need to be, in essence, autobiographical. The autobiographical account I present includes how my personal life trajectory led me to the books that surround me. And how, in turn, these books become a reflection of myself and my roots.
