Overview

A major figure in contemporary Indian and comparative philosophy, Arindam Chakrabarti’s work has spanned across disciplines such as metaphysics, aesthetics, ethics, philosophy of language and epistemology. Bringing together an international list of distinguished philosophers, this collection of essays covers key areas of Chakrabarti’s work, demonstrating the breadth and depth of his philosophical contributions. Organised by discipline, each chapter from leading scholars such as Monima Chadha, Stephen Phillips and Timothy Williamson highlights the cross-cultural and borderless nature of philosophical engagement with Chakrabarti’s work, concluding with responses from Chakrabarti himself. By illuminating the key elements of his thought and examining the variety of sources he draws upon, from Nyaya and Advaita to Shaivism, this volume features cutting-edge contributions that adopts Chakrabarti’s method of synthesizing insights from classical Indian philosophy and contemporary analytic philosophy. The first festschrift dedicated to Chakrabarti, this volume presents his enterprise of bringing Indian and Western philosophical traditions into creative dialogue and celebrates his major contributions in defining the field of cross-cultural philosophy today.
