This fourth volume of M. N. Roy's Selected Works (1932-6) comprises his prison writings, which range from politics to philosophy, from history to sociology of religion and culture, and which show the beginnings of his transformation from a communist to a radical humanist.
When humanism was first receiving widespread public attention in the West, through such publications as The Humanist Manifesto in 1933, unbeknownst to most Westerners humanism was proceeding on a parallel track in India, largely due to the efforts of philosopher and political activist M.N. Roy (1887-1954). Sadly, it wasn''t until the early fifties, at the end of Roy''s life that European humanists began to notice his work.To rectify the unfortunate neglect in the West of one of India''s premier intellectuals, philosopher Innaiah Narisetti has compiled this new collection of Roy''s most significant works. Roy conceived of humanism as a scientific, integral, and radically new worldview. Among many interesting selections in this volume, Roy''s "Principles of Radical Democracy: 22 Theses" is especially representative of his thinking. Here he emphasized ethics and eschewed supernatural interpretations as antithetical to his scientifically oriented conception of "new humanism." He also underscored the importance of universal education to make average people scientifically literate and to teach them critical thinking.Roy was not only a thinker but a doer as well. He spent six years in an Indian prison during the 1930s for opposing the British rule of India.For humanists, philosophers, political scientists, and others, M.N. Roy''s unique and still very relevant view of humanism will have great appeal and broad application beyond its original Indian context.
This volume presents a selection of Roy's writings that have not been in print for a very long time as they were proscribed by the government immediately on publication. The volume includes the complete texts of Political Letters and Future of Indian Politics, the Open Letter to J. R. MacDonald, and a selection of his articles from The Vanguard, The Masses, Inprecor, and The Communist International. This book is intended for historians, political scientists.
This volume presents a selection of Roy's principal writings between 1927 and 1932. Very large sections of this work were previously unaccessible since they had not been written in English nor published or included in any book.
