SECTIONI DirectionsforQuestions1to5:Thepassagegivenbelowisfollowedbyasetoffivequestions. Choosethemostappropriateanswertoeachquestion. In theevolutionofknowledge through the centuries, the following question has played a major role:whatknowledgeispurethoughtabletosupplyindependentlyofsenseperception?Isthere anysuch knowledge?Ifnot, what precisely istherelation betweenour knowledgeand the raw materialfurnishedbysenseimpressions?

Therehasbeenanincreasingskepticismconcerningeveryattemptbymeansofpurethoughtto learnsomethingaboutthe'objectiveworld',abouttheworldof'things'incontrasttotheworldof 'concepts and ideas'. During philosophy's childhood, it was rather generally believed that it is possible to find everything which can be known by means of mere reflection. It was anillusionwhich anyone can easily understand if, for a moment, he dismisses what he has learned from later philosophy and from natural science he will not be surprised to find thatPlatoascribedahigherrealityto'ideas'thantoempiricallyexperienceablethings.

The more aristocratic illusion concerning the unlimited penetrative power of thought has as its counterpartthemoreplebeianillusionofnaiverealism,accordingtowhichthings'are'astheyare perceivedbyusthroughoursenses.Thisillusiondominatesthedailylifeofmenandofanimals itisalsothepointofdepartureinallofthesciences,especiallyofthenaturalsciences.

AsRussellwrote

'Weallstartfromnaive realism, i.e.,thedoctrine thatthings arewhat theyseem.We think that grass is green, that stones are hard, and that snow is cold. But physics assures us that the greennessof grass, thehardnessof stones, and thecoldness ofsnow are not the greenness, hardness,andcoldnessthatweknowinourownexperience,butsomethingverydifferent.The observer,whenheseemstohimselftobeobservingastone,isreally,ifphysicsistobebelieved, observingtheeffectsofthestoneuponhimself.'

Gradually the conviction gained recognition that allknowledgeabout things is exclusively a workingover of the raw material furnished by thesenses.GalileoandHumefirst upheld this
PTpnrpc12 2of33

principle with full clarity and decisiveness. Hume saw that concepts which we must regard as essential, suchas,forexample,causal connection, cannotbegained from material giventous by thesenses. This insight led him to a skeptical attitude as concerns knowledge of any kind. Manhasanintensedesireforassuredknowledge.ThatiswhyHume'sclearmessageseemed crushing:thesensoryrawmaterial,theonlysourceofourknowledge,throughhabitmayleadus to belief and expectation but not to the knowledge and still less to the understanding of lawful relations.

ThenKanttookthestagewithanideawhich,thoughcertainlyuntenableintheforminwhichhe put it, signified a step towards the solution of Hume's dilemma: 'whatever inknowledgeis ofempiricaloriginisnevercertain.'If,therefore,wehavedefinitelyassuredknowledge,itmustbe groundedinreasonitself.

The following, however, appears to me to be correct in Kant's statement of the problem: in thinkingweusewithacertain"right",conceptstowhichthereisnoaccessfromthematerialsof sensoryexperience,ifthesituationisviewedfromthelogicalpointofview.

Asamatteroffact,Iamconvincedthatevenmuchmoreistobeasserted:theconceptswhich arise in our thought and in our linguistic expressions are all when viewed logically thefree creationsof thought which cannotinductivelybe gained fromsense experiences. This is not so easily noticed only because we have the habit of combining certain concepts and conceptual relations (propositions) so definitely with certain sense experiences that we do not become consciousofthegulflogicallyunbridgeablewhichseparatestheworldofsensoryexperiences fromtheworldofconceptsandpropositions.

AssoonasoneisathomeinHume'scritiqueoneiseasilyledtobelievethatallthoseconcepts andpropositionswhichcannotbededucedfromthesensoryrawmaterialare,onaccountoftheir 'metaphysical'character, tobe removedfromthinking.

Directions for Questions 6 to 10: The passage given below is followed by a set of five questions.Choosethemostappropriateanswertoeachquestion. Artificial Intelligenceandcybernetics:Aren'ttheythesamething?Or,isn'toneaboutcomputers andtheotheraboutrobots?Theanswertothesequestionsisemphatically,No.

Researchers inArtificial Intelligence(AI) usecomputer technology tobuildintelligent machines they consider implementation (that is, working examples) as the most important result. Practitioners of cybernetics use models of organizations, feedback, goals, and conversation to understand the capacity and limits of any system (technological, biological, or social) they considerpowerfuldescriptionsasthemostimportantresult.Cyberneticsispreeminentwhenthe system under scrutiny is involved in a closed signal loop, where action by the system in an environmentcausessomechangeintheenvironmentandthatchangeismanifesttothesystem via information / feedback that causes the system to adapt to new conditions: the system changes its behaviour. This "circular causal" relationship is necessary and sufficient for a cyberneticperspective.

In working to derive functional models common to all systems, early cybernetic researchers quicklyrealizedthat their "scienceofobservedsystems"cannotbedivorced from "ascienceof observing systems" because it is we who observe. The cybernetic approach is centrally concernedwiththisunavoidablelimitationofwhatwecanknow:ourownsubjectivity.Inthisway cybernetics is aptly called "applied epistemology". At minimum, its utility is the production of useful descriptions, and, specifically, descriptions that include the observer in the description. The shift of interest in cybernetics from "observed systems" physical systems such as thermostatsorcomplexautopilotsto"observingsystems"languageorientedsystemssuch as science or social systems explicitly incorporates the observer into the description, while maintaining afoundation infeedback,goals,and information. Itapplies the cyberneticframe to theprocessofcybernetics itself.Thisshift isoftencharacterized asa transitionfrom'firstorder

cybernetics'to'secondordercybernetics.Cyberneticdescriptionsofpsychology,language,arts, performance,orintelligence(tonameafew)maybequitedifferentfrommoreconventional,hard "scientific"viewsalthoughcyberneticscanberigoroustoo.Implementationmaythenfollowin software and/or hardware, or in the design of social, managerial, and other classes of interpersonalsystems.

AIispredicatedonthepresumptionthatknowledgeisacommoditythatcanbestoredinsideofa machine, and that the application of such stored knowledge to the real world constitutes intelligence.Only within such a "realist"view of the world can, for example,semantic networks and rulebased expert systems appear to be a route to intelligent machines. Cybernetics in contrast has evolved from a "constructivist" view of the world where objectivity derives from shared agreement about meaning, and whereinformation (or intelligence for that matter) is an attributeof an interaction rather than acommodity stored inacomputer.Thesedifferencesare notmerelysemanticincharacter,butratherdeterminefundamentallythesourceanddirectionof researchperformedfromacybernetic,versusanAI,stance.

Theterm"cybernetics"hasbeenwidelymisunderstood,perhapsfortwobroadreasons.First,its identity and boundary are difficult to grasp. The nature of its concepts and the breadth of its applications,asdescribedabove,makeitdifficultfornonpractitionerstoformaclearconceptof cybernetics.Thisholdsevenforprofessionalsofallsorts,ascyberneticsneverbecameapopular disciplineinitsownrightrather,itsconceptsandviewpointsseepedintomanyotherdisciplines, fromsociologyandpsychologytodesignmethodsandpostmodernthought.Second,theadvent of the prefix "cyb" or "cyber" as a referent to either robots ("cyborgs") or the Internet ("cyberspace") further dilutedits meaning, to the point ofseriousconfusion to everyoneexcept thesmallnumberofcyberneticexperts.

However, the concepts and origins of cybernetics have become of greater interest recently, especiallysincearoundtheyear2000.LackofsuccessbyAItocreateintelligentmachineshas increased curiosity toward alternative views of what a brain does and alternative views of the biology ofcognition. There isgrowingrecognition ofthevalueof a "scienceofsubjectivity" that encompasses both objective and subjective interactions, including conversation. Designers are rediscovering the influence of cyberneticson the tradition of 20thcentury design methods, and the need for rigorous models of goals, interaction, and system limitations for the successful

Directions for Questions 11 to 15: The passage given below is followed by a set of five questions.Choosethemostappropriateanswertoeachquestion. Instudyingthereligionsoftheworldwegenerallyfindtwomethodsofprocedure.Oneisfrom God to man. That is to say, we have the Semitic group of religions in which the idea of God comesalmostfrom thevery first, and, strangelyenough,without anyideaof soul. Itwasvery remarkable amongst the ancient Hebrews that, until very recent periods in their history, they never evolved any idea of a human soul. Man was composed of certain mind and material particles,andthatwasall.Withdeatheverythingended.TheotheristhroughmantoGod.The secondispeculiarlyAryan,andthefirstispeculiarlySemitic.

The Aryan first began with the soul. His ideas of God were hazy, indistinguishable, not very clear but, as his idea of the human soul began to be clearer, his idea of God began to be clearerinthesameproportion.SotheinquiryintheVedaswasalwaysthroughthesoul.Allthe knowledge the Aryans got of God was through the human soul and, as such, the peculiar stampthathasbeenleftupontheirwholecycleofphilosophyisthatintrospectivesearchafter divinity.TheAryanmanwasalwaysseekingdivinityinsidehisownself

Therearethesubjectsofstudyforman,externalandinternalnatureandthoughatfirstthese seemtobecontradictory,yetexternalnaturemust,totheordinaryman,beentirelycomposedof internal nature,theworld ofthought. Youmust remember theone theme thatrunsthroughall the Vedas: "Just as by the knowledge of one lump of clay we know all the clay that is in the universe, so what is that, knowing which we know everythingelse?" This, expressed more or lessclearly,isthethemeofallhumanknowledge.

ThisisthethemethatrunsthroughthewholeofVedanta,andwhichrunsthrougheveryother religion. So in every religion you find there are three stages: philosophy, mythology, and ceremonial. There is one advantage which can be pleaded for the Vedanta, that in India, fortunately, thesethreestageshavebeensharplydefined.In otherreligionsthe principles are
PTpnrpc12 8of33

so interwoven with the mythology that it is very hard to distinguish one from the other. The mythology stands supreme, swallowing up the principles and in course of centuries the principles are lost sight of. The explanation, the illustration of the principle, swallows up the principle, and the people see only the explanation, the prophet, the preacher, while the principleshavegoneoutofexistence.

In Vedanta the chief advantage is that it was not the work of one single man and therefore, naturally,unlikeBuddhism,orChristianity,orMohammedanism,theprophetorteacherdidnot entirely swallow up or overshadow the principles. The principles live, and the prophets, as it were, form a secondary group, unknown to Vedanta. The Upanishads speak of no particular prophet,buttheyspeakofvariousprophetsandprophetesses.Wecanverymuchagreeasto principles, but not very much as to persons. The persons appeal to our emotions and the principles,tosomethinghigher,toourcalmjudgment.Principlesmustconquerinthelongrun, for that is the manhood of man. Emotions many times drag us down to the level of animals. Emotionshavemoreconnectionwiththesensesthanwiththefacultyofreasonand,therefore, when principles are entirely lost sight of and emotions prevail, religions degenerate into fanaticismandsectarianism.

ThewordMantrameans"thoughtout",cogitatedbythemindandtheRishiistheseerofthese thoughts.Theyareneitherthepropertyofparticularpersons,northeexclusivepropertyofany man or woman, however great he or she may be nor even the exclusive property of the greatestspirits theBuddhasorChrists whomtheworldhasproduced.Becausetheyare universal principles.

If Newtonhadnotbeenborn,thelawofgravitationwouldhaveremainedallthesameandwould haveworkedallthesame.ItwasNewton'sgeniuswhichformulatedit,discoveredit,broughtit into consciousness, and made it aconscious thing to the human race. So are these religious laws,thegrandtruthsofspirituality.Theyareworkingallthetime.IfalltheVedasandtheBibles andtheKoransdidnotexistatall,ifseersandprophetshadneverbeenborn,yettheselaws would exist. But they are the prophets who see them, discover them, and such prophets are discoverersinthefieldofspirituality.AsNewtonandGalileowereprophetsofphysicalscience, soaretheyprophetsofspirituality.Theycanclaimnoexclusiverighttoanyoneoftheselaws theyarethecommonpropertyofallnature.
