Evolving creativity dynamics and rethinking art in the era of generative AI Revankar, S.S.; PaiVernekar, S.D. The rise of AI systems has shifted art making from manual execution to prompt-based orchestration, raising new questions about authorship, agency, originality, labour, and ethical responsibility. Using a comparative framework that engages Kant, Heidegger, Benjamin, McLuhan and Floridi, the authors argue that generative AI lacks the intentionality, genius and purposiveness required for creativity in the strong philosophical sense. Nevertheless, it can participate in a distributed, relational mode of co-creativity in which the human user remains the primary source of intention and judgment. The article makes three contributions: it distinguishes apparent from genuine creativity in AI art; it explains how AI reshapes labour, temporality, materiality and authorship through prompt-creativity and creative parasitism; and it offers an ethical critique, emphasizing human agency, dataset transparency, and fair compensation within the evolving infosphere.

The phenomenon of Yātrā: A philosophical form of collective practice Brajkov, B. The word Yātrā, translated from Sanskrit into English, means "journey" or "voyage." It is often associated with significant and meaningful travel, such as a spiritual journey. Yātrā can be understood as both, an outward and inward journey, as it encompasses personal transformation, since every external journey is inherently also an inner one. Moreover, Yātrā implies collectiveness, especially in the context of spiritual pilgrimages, since it is often undertaken by groups of people joined in compassion, devotion, shared joy, growth, love, and united in difficult times. The Rajasthan Kabir Yātrā is rooted in the Bhakti and Sufi poetry of mystic saints such as Kabir, Mirabai, Bulleh Shah, and others, who are known for their devotion to love, equality, and the rejection of rigid rituals and rules. This article draws parallels between the Rajasthan Kabir Yātrā and the students' long walks taking place in Serbia in 2025. I recognize these as a form of Student Yātrā-a journey of togetherness, care, love, and devotion—expressing a radical aesthetic of community.

Between Ecocentrism and Anthropocentrism: Situating Gandhian Philosophy of Environment Tharakan, K.; George, V.M. While Gandhi is portrayed as an inspiration for proponents of ecocentrism, specifically Deep Ecologists like Arne Naess, Ramachandra Guha suggests that Gandhi was more concerned with anthropocentrism. Rather than ascertaining whether Gandhi was a Deep Ecologist, this paper aims to determine the implications of his philosophical anthropology for the Anthropocene. Dwelling on Gandhi's comprehension of the other, including non-human nature, we situate Gandhian environmentalism between ecocentrism and anthropocentrism as a weak form of anthropocentrism that can be interpreted as 'stewardship' with the potential for an ethic of care. The Gandhian ideals of Swadeshi, Swaraj, and Sarvodaya are invoked to discuss the significance and alignment of Gandhi's philosophy of environment to contemporary ideals of ecologically and socially sustainable societies.
