Ethics and Epics- Philosophy culture and religion (Volume 2)

The unifying motif of Bimal Krishna Matilal’s work is the study of regional tradition in indian philosophical thought. With his ability to span the divide between the Indian and Western intellectual traditions, he brought contemporary techniques of analytical philosophy to bear upon the issues raised in classical Indian philosophy and, conversely, to highlight the relevance of Indian thought in the modern world.
From analyses of the arguments of the classical philosophers to an evaluation of the role of philosophy in classical Indian society, from critique of Western perceptions of Indian philosophy to reflection on the thought of Indian intellectuals like Bankimchandra and Radhakrishna, the two volumes bring together rare and landmark essays.
