The book, authored by Indian social theorist \u003cstrong\u003eAnanta Kumar Giri\u003c\/strong\u003e, offers a refreshing call to engage with the most pressing social and political issues in late modernity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work integrates Western thought with Indian social theory, drawing from a vast array of Indian intellectual traditions that have largely been overlooked by Western scholarship. Alongside key figures such as Gandhi and Sri Aurobindo, Giri includes lesser-known Indian social theorists, economists, sociologists, and essayists. These thinkers advocate for transcendence beyond self-interest, social responsibility, and political renewal, emphasizing the need for transformation in both personal and societal realms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiri’s writing is lucid, well-argued, and thoroughly transdisciplinary. It encourages readers to engage in a truly planetary conversation, one that transcends both Indian and European ethnocentric perspectives, offering an inclusive framework for social theory. This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in a global, cross-cultural dialogue on social theory and its applications in the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book covers a variety of Indian and Western texts and social theories, exploring their relevance in today's society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt includes discussions on the transformation of self-interest, the importance of social responsibility, and the need for political renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnanta Kumar Giri\u003c\/strong\u003e is a faculty member at the Madras Institute of Development Studies, Chennai, India.
