Calibrating Western Philosophy for India

Rousseau, Derrida, Deleuze, Guattari, Bergson and Vaddera Chandidas

Beschreibung

This book proposes a new way of reading modern western philosophers in the Indian context. It shows an alternative route to approaching philosophers from the West - Rousseau, Derrida, Deleuze, Guattari and Bergson - by bending and reassembling aspects of their ideas and theories to relate with the diversity and complexity of Indian society.
