Intended both for philosophers and general readers interested in the dichotomy between Eastern and Western thought, this work presents a dialogue between classical and contemporary Indian and postmodern thinkers. The author juxtaposes the diverse perspectives of Indian philosophers and philosophies, including Buddhism, Sankara, and Radhakrishnan, and western postmodern thinkers such as Lacan and Derrida. The comparisons are based on topics such as language and writing, desire, suffering, abjection and death, the self, identity, ontology, rationality and madness.
