In Time Warps the Insistent Politics of Silent and Evasive Pasts Ashish Nandy argued that his work can be seen as an adventure in one kind of time travel where one mainly uses or invokes the past to shape the contemporary. In the present collection he reverses that journey. Using the metaphor of the future imagined utopias conceptions of cultural possibilities social critiques of things to come Nandy redefines the present. His effort is to demonstrate that in a world increasingly dominated by a narrow range of ideologies one must affirm that social ethics and a more humane society can be based on grounds other than those framed for the past 200 years by the west and thrust upon the rest. Nandy critiques the enlightenment and all conceptions based on limited ideas of reason and development given shape in Europe arguing our responsibility towards alternative systems of knowledge at points in time when human beings turn emancipatory ideas ideologies and categories into new tools of violence and oppression. 210 pp.
