Nandy, Ashis

Talking India Nandy, Ashis; Jahanbegloo, Ramin - Oxford University Press, USA 2006

"Multifaceted thinker and prolific author, Ashis Nandy is considered one of India's leading intellectuals. For someone trained as a clinical psychologist and a sociologist, he continues to cross disciplinary boundaries and capture the imagination of the reading public and everyone interested in the world of ideas. This book is a journey into his mind, a mind that battles the dark side of modernity - a modernity that makes voiceless the dissenting voices of our times. The book explores Nandy's myriad and unpredictable ways of thinking and the essential humanism of his writings, which are a homage to the known and unknown victims of history. The book has grown out of a series of six comprehensive interviews conducted by Ramin Jahanbegloo, an Iranian philosopher."--BOOK JACKET.
