Destiny of man. 17. Immortality with a difference. Philosophical Semi colons is an attempt to provide alternative rational solutions to some of the ageold problems in philosophy. Readers will be quite amazed to read Prof. Bandiste's solutions as well as dissolutions. In some of them he has effected what can be called a Copernican revolution by showing that while people searched in vain for a solution in the objective factor it was actually existing in the subjective factor or the reverse. He is quite realistic as well as original at a number of places like in finding freedom even in the deterministic context in identifying the real nature of the moral doer and reaper in his refutation of Hume in his discovery of the nature of truth beauty and goodness in his discovery of a new inter relationship among science philosophy and religion in locating subjectivity even in the absence of soul and so on. He presents the philosopher in a new light in The Debt that a philosopher owes to society. Readers will find something novel in each one of the solutions provided by him. At many places he disillusions us in a surprising way. Since Prof. Bandiste believes that the real philosophy must be philosophy of life his solutions are basically meant for bettering the qualitative aspect of life. Being rational also means being nearer to common sense. This is how every well meaning person whether or not technically a student of philosophy can understand the book and find it of much relevance. The lucid style of the book makes the whole reading easy and charming and yet revealing and useful. 164 pp.…

Index. This is not just one more book on the Buddha. The author has with proofs and justifications shown as to how very rational and scientific the Buddha was. Many of the Buddha's readings of the reality are verified as correct by the modern scientific findings. Dr. Bandiste has rightly pointed out that the Buddha a human being gave fellow human beings a rational morality (a dhamma) and not a new religion (a Dharma). The Buddha had himself declared that even the Dhamma he gave was not the last word there could be alterations improvements and additions depending upon the need of the society. Thus the Dhamma would never become out of date as some of the religious preachings might become. As Dr. Bandiste has argued the present and the future man can live in peace and prosper only if the Dhamma reigns the world and triumphs. Dr. Bandiste argues that in this regard Dr. Ambedkar's suggestions would also be of great help. This book is surely going to be of great help to the present humanity miserable on many counts. 214 pp.…
