Dead man's hand in popular culture feature the aces and eights hand as a foreshadowing of death. In "Stagecoach" (1939), the hand is held by Luke Plummer (Tom Tyler), soon to be shot by the Ringo Kid (John Wayne). In "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" (1962), Liberty Valance draws the hand just prior to his death. In Anthony Mann's film "Winchester '73", "Dutch" Henry lays down a full house, aces over eights, stating that he just missed a "dead man's hand." In the 1941 Western "The Badlands of Dakota", Wild Bill Hickok, played by Richard Dix, is shown to be holding the aces and eights
What is Living and What is Dead in Indian Philosophy What is Living and What is Dead in Indian Philosophy What is Living and What is Dead in Indian Philosophy is a 1976 book by Debiprasad Chattopadhyaya. Explaining the relationship between the soul and consciousness in the Nyaya-Vaisesika philosophy, Debiprasad Chattopadhyaya makes three points. First, consciousness in this view is knowledge (jnana) in an empirical sense. Second, consciousness is one of the multiple qualities of the soul. Third, consciousness is a transient quality, not a permanent quality. By itself, the soul is without consciousness; consciousness is produced in the soul only when it is conjoined with certain other entities. Hiriyanna,
