Contributor(s): Pani, Narendar [ed.] | Behera, Anshuman [ed.].
Publisher: Oxon Routledge 2018Description: xi, 256p.ISBN: 9781138543218.Subject(s): Political science -- Philosophy | Reasoning | Philosophy -- Political aspects -- IndiaDDC classification: 954.04 | R235 Summary: This volume examines the multiple forms of reasoning in Indian politics and explores a framework to understand them. In the process, it looks at a series of issues involving the relationship between politics and philosophy, including the status of political theory, political practices, identity politics, and political ontology. The book argues that in the years leading up to and soon after independence, the task of conceptualizing politics was largely in the domain of practising politicians who built theories and philosophical methods, and further took those visions into the practice of their politics. It maintains that Indian politicians since then have not been as inclined to articulate their theories or methods of politics. This book traces the transition from philosopher politicians to politicians seeking philosophy in Indian polity in the post-independence era and its implications for current practices. It views Indian political philosophy from the standpoints of political theorists, philosophers, and practitioners. With expert and scholarly contributions, this volume will be of interest to students and researchers of Indian political thought and political philosophy, social sciences, and humanities.| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
