| Publisher Description: One of the most distinguished political philosophers of our time, British-Indian academic and peer Lord Bhikhu Parekh's work continues to deeply influence our understanding of identity, politics, and multiculturalism. Based on a series of interviews of Bhikhu Parekh by Iranian philosopher Ramin Jahanbegloo, Talking Politics is a journey into the life and work of the acclaimed political thinker. From cultural diversity and global ethics to universal moral rights and duties, liberalism, multiculturalism, Marxism, Islam and Europe, and Gandhi in the twenty-first century--Parekh addresses issues which India and nations across the world are grappling with in a changed and changing global order. Moving from the public to the personal domain, this engaging conversation affords rare glimpses of Parekh's world: from early-life struggle and sacrifice to the joys of success, and finally his entry into the House of Lords. |
