Periyar: Jivan aur Vichar and Buddhiwadi Prashnottari

My two Hindi booklets published by Buddhiwadi Foundation were released on 5 December. See publications page of Buddhiwadi Foundation for details.
Periyar: Jivan aur Vichar (Periyar: Life and Thoughts) is based on the "Periyar E. V. Ramasami" chapter of my book Rationalism, Humanism and Atheism in Twentieth Century Indian Thought.

Buddhiwadi Prashnottari (Rationalist question-answers) contains short answers to 3o frequently asked questions about rationalism, humanism, atheism and secularism.

Book on metaethics

I have already written four chapters including a chapter on fundamental ethical concepts-- good, right, ought and duty.
Presently I am writing a chapter on G. E. Moore.

Book on metaehics

I have started writing a book in Hindi on metaethics, adhinitishastra. It will be a text book for students of philosophy.


My earlier two exclusive writings on ethics are in English: The Ethical Philosophy of Bertrand Russell and Some Reflections on Ethics.


The first one is my Ph. D. thesis on Russell, whereas the second one, published as a free e-book, contains my original ideas on various ethical topics. I am hoping to incorporate the main ideas in these two books in the Hindi book on metaethics which I am presently working on.

Social and Political Philosophy and Philosophy of Religion

I have just completed working on the third revised and expanded edition of my Hindi book on Social and Political Philosophy and Philosophy of Religion, Samaj aur Rajniti Darshan evam Dharma- Darshan (published by Motilal Banarsidass).

I have added 12 new chapters, including chapters on "multiculturalism", "anarchism" and "Gandhi and Ambedkar on Caste discrimination".

I am feeling good this new year after completing this work. I was working on this for last six months, apart from my normal college duties.
