This book proposes a new way of reading modern Western philosophers
in the Indian context. It questions the colonial methodology, or
the practice of importing theories of Western philosophy, and shows
how its unmediated applications are often incongruent, irrelevant,
and unproductive in local frameworks. The author shows an
alternative route to approaching philosophers from the West -
Rousseau, Derrida, Deleuze, Guattari, and Bergson - by bending and
reassembling aspects of their ideas and theories to relate with the
diversity and complexity of Indian society. He also offers insights
on the politics of non-being and negation from a neglected modern
Indian philosopher, Vaddera Chandidas, as a step forward from the
Western philosophers presented here. An intervention in
philosophical research methodology, this volume will interest
scholars and researchers of philosophy, Western philosophy, Indian
philosophy, comparative studies, postcolonial studies, literature,
cultural studies, and political philosophy.
