Daya Krishna and Twentieth-Century Indian Philosophy introduces
contemporary Indian philosophy as a unique philosophical genre through
the writings of one its most significant exponents, Daya Krishna
(1924-2007). It surveys Daya Krishna's main intellectual projects:
rereading classical Indian sources anew, his famous Samvad Project,
and his attempt to formulate a new social and political theory for
India.
Conceived as a dialogue with Daya Krishna and contemporaries, including
his interlocutors, Krishnachandra Bhattacharyya, Badrinath Shukla,
Ramchandra Gandhi, and Mukund Lath, this book is an engaging
introduction to anyone interested in contemporary Indian philosophy and
in the thought-provoking writings of Daya Krishna.
