Bala Jay by Amartya Sen [Hardcover]

Some words stir our hearts and minds, compelling us to think, question our own beliefs, and seek answers through inquiry. The words of Amartya Sen have this very impact. As we listen to him, we not only gain a deeper understanding of the world but also learn to see ourselves in a new light. In essence, the attempt to connect self-reflection with an awareness of the surrounding world and life itself is what gives meaning to the idea of a philosophy of life. This quest is essential in any society, at any time. However, in our present era and within our society, it is not just necessary—it is absolutely crucial. This collection reflects that realization. The first section includes two recent lectures and a long discussion, while the second part comprises various interviews spanning nearly a decade and a half, covering a range of thought-provoking topics.
