It celebrates his contribution as a theorist, particularly his exploration of the modern self. As an intellectual, Nandy’s focus has been on the pathologies of modernity, but his work also allows us to visualise a different future. It is this duality that the volume highlights: the essays discuss the problems and pathologies of modernity, while also providing sources of enchantments and reenchantment that show us alternative pathways to the desacralisation and disenchantment in the world, both for our present and possible futures.
