Identity as Reasoned Choice - A South Asian Perspective on The Reach Resources of Public Practical

A companion volume to Jonardon Ganeri''s popular textbook, Philosophy in Classical India: The Proper Work of Reason , this new book surveys in a lively and accessible style the nature of practical and public reason in India. It provides what is missing in Amartya Sen''s widely admired The Argumentative Indian : detailed discussion of the thinkers-dissenters and heretics, as well as mainstream voices-whose astonishing ideas so enrich contemporary discussion.>
