Biography
Aakash Singh Rathore is Visiting Professor at the Centre for Philosophy, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India, and Director of the International Research Network for Religion and Democracy (www.irnrd.org).

"The fact that this work uses many sources from different disciplines only makes the book richer. The criss-crossing between Plato’s work and various references drawn from popular art, modern philosophy and the state of Indian academia testify to the breadth of the author’s knowledge. It is a passionate work which deserves close study."
