K Satchidananda Murty (1924–2011) was a vociferous writer and an iconoclast. In recognition of his contribution in the field of Philosophy, he was awarded the highly coveted BC Roy Award in Philosophy, and Padma Vibhushan by the Government of India. This volume is a collection of his unpublished writings in philosophy. It features Murty’s essays on Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and Shintoism.
