Beschreibung

Minds Without Fear is an intellectual and cultural history of India during the period of British occupation. It demonstrates that this was a period of renaissance in India in which philosophy¿both in the public sphere and in the Indian universities¿played a central role in the emergence of a distinctively Indian modernity. The book is also a history of Indian philosophy. It demonstrates how the development of a secular philosophical voice facilitated theconstruction of modern Indian society and the consolidation of the nationalist movement.
