Reviews for Minds Without Fear: Philosophy in the Indian Renaissance
Bhushan and Garfield's book is an extremely valuable record of a community of philosophers that has fallen sadly into obscurity, and of the philosophical contributions of figures that are more often discussed in non-philosophical contexts-figures such as Gandhi, Nehru, Tagore, and Vivekenanda.
