The Paper collected in Truth and Value are both rich and varied. Besides personal apprehensions of Dr. Roy from Professor Jon Cottingham and a frank Autobiographical piece by Dr. Roy himself, there are papers from his friends, admirers and pupils, and former colleagues at the University of North Bengal.
The papers touch the areas of Roy's interest like Ethics, Buddhism, Logic, Aesthetics, Metaphysics, and Philosophy of Religion and Social Philosophy. The papers are of abiding freshness, and quite a few of them have developed new grounds. The writers are intellectuals of Indian Universities well-known for their scholarship and Academic eminence.
Truth and Value is worth collecting for those who care for contemporary outlook in Philosophy. The readers will have pleasure enough and find the papers edifying and delightfully rewarding. Dr. Roy's extensive responses to the papers are full of interesting observations. |
