As some readers will know already, a workshop on postcolonial Indian philosophy will take place in Vienna at the end of September. It will be closed by a round table and I started thinking about the questions I would like to discuss. Suggestions by the readers are welcome.:
- Is Raghuramaraju right in saying that Indian philosophers focus too much on their ancestors (classical period) and too little on their predecessors (18th–20th c.)?
- What could be concretely done to let more people engage in postcolonial Indian philosophy?
- Is this goal part of the general enterprise of creating more centres for the study of global philosophy or are there specific peculiarities conencted to postcolonial Indian philosophy only?
- What are the concrete advantages of engaging with modern and contemporary Indian philosophy for philosophers? And for Sanskritists?
Comments and discussions are welcome. Be sure you are making a point and contributing to the discussion.
