Daya Krishna and Twentieth-Century Indian Philosophy: A New Way of Thinking about Art, Freedom, and Knowledge: Bloomsbury Introductions to World Philosophies

Autor Dr Daniel Raveh
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 sep 2020
Daya Krishna and Twentieth-Century Indian Philosophy introduces contemporary Indian philosophy as a unique philosophical genre through the writings of one its most significant exponents, Daya Krishna (1924-2007). It surveys Daya Krishna's main intellectual projects: rereading classical Indian sources anew, his famous Samvad Project, and his attempt to formulate a new social and political theory for India. Conceived as a dialogue with Daya Krishna and contemporaries, including his interlocutors, Krishnachandra Bhattacharyya, Badrinath Shukla, Ramchandra Gandhi, and Mukund Lath, this book is an engaging introduction to anyone interested in contemporary Indian philosophy and in the thought-provoking writings of Daya Krishna.

Recenzii

A compelling and gripping narration of Indian philosophy in the twentieth century. Like an artist handling lines and colours on a canvas, Raveh makes a concerted attempt to identify, classify and assemble the philosophical ideas of Daya Krishna, one of the most intriguing philosophers of contemporary India.
Aptly describable as the Socrates-Nagarjuna-Zhuangzi of the late twentieth century, Daya Krishna was an original thinker, an assiduous but irreverent interpreter of Indian and Western philosophy, and a contrarian teacher who taught all late twentieth century philosophers and intellectuals in India to think freely, fearlessly, about freedom. No one is better qualified than Daniel Raveh to introduce him, not just as an Indian or comparative philosopher, but as a philosopher.
Daniel Raveh foregrounds the importance of Daya Krishna's thought through dialogue with other contemporary Indian philosophers. His book brings much-needed intellectual relief to many of us who feel intellectually trapped in the conceptual crossfire generated by philosophical essentialists both in India and the West.
