Description: A timely look at the ways in which colonialism has undermined the study of moral philosophy, showing how a rigorous study is achieved by drawing on indigenous thought.

Brief description: Shyam Ranganathan is a member of the Department of Philosophy, and York Center for Asian Research, at York University, Toronto, Canada and founder of the Yoga Philosophy Institute.

Review Quotes: A bold contribution to the urgent task of decolonising the field of moral philosophy: from a South Asian perspective, Ranganathan shows how the simultaneous appropriation and erasure of Indigenous thought plays a critical role in normalising regimes of violence and oppression.
David Wengrow, co-author of The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity.
