This journal is a yearly philosophical journal published by the Dept. of Philosophy, University of North Bengal. Philosophical Papers: Journal of the Department of Philosophy, welcomes contributions from all fields of philosophy. The editorial policy of the journal is to promote the study of philosophy, Eastern and Western in all its branches: Epistemology, Metaphysics, Logic, Ethics, Social and Political Philosophy, and the Philosophy of Science, Mind, Religion and Language. However, it would like its contributors to focus on what they consider to be significantly new and important. The contributions should, as far as possible, avoid jargon and the authour’s contention should be stated in as simple a language as possible.

    Idealising Politics: Cross-questioning the Conventional Account
    (University of North Bengal, 2025) Bhowal, Nabanita
    In this paper I intend to map out an alternative way of doing politics as the current form of politics and political activities of many countries could not keep up with the expectations of their people. There is also a general perception that moral degeneration is exceptionally high in this arena, and hence, purging political activities is a need of the hour. The moot question is how we can have these tidying-up activities done. To my mind, blending ethics with politics is one way of doing this. I depicted this point, and while doing this, I analysed the power dynamics, using various prominent scholars' views in this area. After that, I wanted to show that an alternative way of politicking was not merely fiction in the imagination. It indeed can be put into practice. Finally, I raised a question that has been troubling my mind for quite a long time. In ethics, there are various lines of thinking. Do these multiple lines involve any manoeuvring, which is questionable in itself?
