Soft cover. Zustand: New. A BRILLIANT REIMAGINING OF RABINDRANATH TAGORE'S IMMORTAL WORK, GITANJALI. Rabindranath Tagore's profound meditations on life, nature, grace and brokenness in the Gitanjali won him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. Sing of Life is Priya Sarukkai Chabria's virtuosic revisioning of this world classic. Limned with daring, intuition and poetic imagination, it rings true to Tagore's search for spiritual splendour, and her own questing. Chabria writes in the introduction to the work, 'I believe a great poem is one that often serves as a draft or raft for someone else's poem. Or that is how it should be: a spark or a shift in another's consciousness.' In this inspired linguistic experiment, she seeks to capture that spark and give it new life by chiselling Tagore's prose-poetry into intense poems that invite us to re-engage with Gitanjali. Contemplative and courageous, this is a reimagining of Tagore and his work for a new generation of readers.…

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. Ten essays of this book, two of which are written in Sanskrit, range from modern logic to classical Indian theories of inference. Classical Indian philosophy comprising Pracina and Navya-Nyaya, Sankhya, Buddhist and Jaina logical and philosophical standpoints are discussed in most modern technical terms of western philosophy, often with the aid of terminologies of modern logic. Similarly, western ideas propounded by the ancient Greek philosophers like Aristotle as well as contemporary philosophers such as Frege, Russell, Srawson, Kripke and many others are placed against the backdrop of classical Indian philosophy. The book will be immensely useful to those interested in stimulating meaningful dialogues between philosophical thinking of India and the West. The book will also be of interest to those who aim at broadening the horizon of logic and philosophy.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. The public intellectual in India is an endangered species. Should we care? In this well-argued book, Romila Thapar and others tell us why we should. Thapar begins by defining the critical role that such individuals play in our societies today. Collectively, they are the objective, fearless, constructive voice that asks the awkward questions when government, industry, religious leaders and other bulwarks of society stray from their roles of ensuring the proper functioning of a country whose hallmarks are (or should be) social and economic equality, justice for all, and the liberty to say, think and profess the fundamental requirements of good citizenship. Through the lens of history, philosophy, science, and politics, she shows us the key role enlightened thinkers and activists have played in India, Europe and elsewhere. Today, as the liberal space in India is threatened by religious fundamentalism, big business, and, worryingly, a government that appears to be tacitly (and sometimes overtly) encouraging the attack on freedom of expression, secular values and rational readings of history, there could be no book as timely as this one. With contributions from writers and scholars in the fields of philosophy, science, history, journalism and social activism, The Public Intellectual in India shows us why it is important to have independent voices to protect the underprivileged, ensure human rights and social justice, and watch over the smooth functioning of our liberal, secular democracy.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. A revolutionary take on the classic dystopian science fiction novel, Clone inaugurates a new kind of writing in India. Priya Sarukkai Chabria weaves the tale of a fourteenth-generation clone in twenty-fourth-century India who struggles against imposed amnesia and sexual taboos in a species-depleted world. With resonant and allusive prose, Chabria takes us along as the clone hesitantly navigates through a world rendered unfamiliar by her expanding consciousness. This slow transformation is mirrored in the way both she and her world appear to the reader. The necessary questions Chabria raises revolve around a shared humanity, the necessity of plurality of expression, the wonder of love, and the splendour of difference. Clone's adventurous forays into vastly different times, spaces, and consciousness-animal, human, and post-human-build a poetic story about compassion and memory in the midst of all that is grotesque.…
