I am a translation theorist, philosopher and teacher. I write on: Ethics, Political Philosophy, the Philosophy of Thought, Philosophy of Language, Translation Theory, Philosophy of Religion and Asian Philosophy---especially Indian Philosophy. I'm interested in methodological questions that bear on studying philosophy. I'm especially interested in what traditions of moral philosophy that are colonially depicted as non-existent, specifically the South Asian tradition, can teach us about moral philosophy. A theme of my research is the connection between models of thought and understanding, and outcomes of colonialism, anthropocentrism and for research.
