The Positive Background of Hindu Sociology c5.s1.9

c5.s1.9

It is the object of the *Positive Background* to demonstrate that Hindu culture, as it has historically grown through the ages and in diverse regions of India as well as Greater India, bears testimony to this Fichtean *natürliche Trieb des Menschen* (natural impulse or drive of man) and *regelmässige Ordnung der Dinge* (regular order of things). All the activities and ideas of the Hindus in regard to the *irdisches Vaterland* (earthly fatherland), the establishment of Heaven on Earth (*Himmel auf dieser Erde*) and the discovery of the eternal in the ephemeral or the transient are so many phases of Hindu positivism which it is the purpose of the present work to unravel.
