"Philosophers of mind also think about conceptual issues. Take the question of whether we have free will. We might be able to do some relevant scientific experiments. But to answer the question we also need to understand what we mean by ‘free will’."

The Extinguished Flame by Abdur Rahman Chughtai (Pakistani) - Watercolor on paper / 1920s - Fukuoka Asian Art Museum (Japan) #womeninart #art #watercolorart #artwork #PakistaniArtist #PakistaniArt #FukuokaAsianArtMuseum #福岡アジア美術館 #womensart #AbdurRahmanChughtai #Chughtai #Ghalib #MirzaGhalib #poetry
This watercolor on paper painting by esteemed Pakistani artist Abdur Rahman Chughtai shows a scene from a poem by celebrated 19th century Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib about a woman who continues to wait for her lover even after the light from the candle has extinguished. Golden moths are falling over the woman who is reclined in front of a doorway on a thin flat beneath mattress beneath a dark tall gold candle stand. The motif of burnt moths which went too close to fire often appears in Persian literature and paintings to symbolize the fragility of passionate love. Abdur Rehman Chughtai is a Pakistani painter who worked in Lahore around the time the city was still in the territory of British India. He established his original style by fusing different ways of expression including the tradition of Bengali School led by Abanindranath Tagore, Indian miniature painting, modern Japanese painting, and Art Nouveau. Using fluid colors and elegant lines which are the characteristics of the "wash technique" of Bengali School, he made a range of delicate poetic paintings of Hindu and Buddhist myths, historical figures in Islam, and Urdu and Persian poetry. He is considered to be "the first significant modern Muslim artist from Pakistan," and the "national artist of Pakistan." On Pakistan's independence day in 1951, he produced a set of 9 stamps, better known as 'Chughtai Art set'. At that time, this set was considered as the most beautiful stamps of the world. Poet Mirza Asadullah Beg Khan, commonly known as Mirza Ghalib, is widely regarded as one of the greatest poets in the Urdu language. He also produced a significant body of work in Persian. Ghalib's poetry often addresses existential struggle, sorrows, and socio-political disturbances, particularly the decline of the Mughal Empire. Even thought he spent most of his life in poverty, his work remains popular not only in the Indian subcontinent but also among the Hindustani diaspora around the world.
