DESCRIPTION
The book is an attempt, in the light of contributions made by Karl Marx and Jean Paul Sartre, to deal with perennial issues in philosophy. What is the nature of man? What is his ultimate destiny? Is man free to make his own destiny or only a helpless puppet? But why Marx and Sartre? Both of them are humanist thinkers and the solution to aforesaid problems, acceptable to modern critical mind, has to be found within overall humanistic framework, both for sensitive individuals and secular-democratic societies. The book, in its own way, fills the gap in traditional Indian thought which, while concerning itself with individual salvation, pushes the historical and social dimensions of human life to the background.
