Book Description
"To rectify the West's unfortunate neglect of one of India's premier intellectuals, humanist Innaiah Narisetti has complied this new collection of Roy's most significant works. Roy conceived of humanism as a scientific, integral, and radically new worldview. Among many interesting selections in this volume, Roy's "Principles of Radical Democracy: Twenty-Two Theses" especially represents his thinking. Here he emphasizes ethics and eschews supernatural interpretations as antithetical to his scientifically oriented conception of New Humanism. Roy also underscores the importance of universal education to make average people scientifically literate and to teach them critical thinking."--BOOK JACKET.
