Dev Centre for Philosophical Studies (http://search.com.bd/banglapedia/Content/HT/D%5F0125.htm)
Dev Centre for Philosophical Studies a research centre set up
by the university of Dhaka on 15 December 1980 commemorating
Govinda Chandra Dev. On 31 January
1991 the centre was given a corresponding Bangla name: 'Govindadev Darshan Gabeshana
Kendra'. The centre is managed by a seven-member committee headed by a director.
The centre studies humanistic and welfare-oriented philosophy, offers scholarships
and fellowships for philosophical research, and arranges Dev Memorial Lectures
on Dev's death anniversary. It publishes two half-yearly periodicals: Philosophy
and Progress in English and Darshan O Pragati in Bangla. [Kali Prasanna Das]
Aristotle Visits Bangladesh In Dhaka, a group of philosophy enthusiasts have
recently formed a society called the Aristotelian Society. Unlike the exclusively
academic British society of the same name, its objective "is to popularise
the study of philosophy. The society proposes to enroll both professional philosophers
and amateurs, academics and non-academics and women and men from different walks
of life who share an interest in philosophy." The Aristotelian Society is
based at B Block, Lalmatia, Dhaka. It is not Dhaka's first popular philosophy
initiative, however, as a study circle called the Dorshon Club has been operating
for the last seven years. Its President, Dr Liaqat Ali, hosts weekly discussion
meetings which over the course of a year work their way chronologically through
the history of philosophy from the pre-Socratics to present, taking in Indian
and Islamic philosophy along the way. The Dorshon Club is located at 7/A Paribagh.

The Constitution establishes Islam as the state religion but also provides for
the right subject to law, public order, and morality to practice the religion
of one's choice, and the Government generally respects this provision in practice.
However, although the Government is secular, religion exerts a powerful influence
on politics, and the Government is sensitive to the Muslim consciousness of the
majority of its citizens.
