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.
