M. N. Roy's New Humanism and Materialism

Dr. Ramendra, 2001, pp. 144, Price Rs. 100

This scholarly book by Dr. Ramendra focuses on Roy’s materialism and its differences from traditional and Marxian materialism. Besides, the author has also discussed the appropriateness of the term “materialism” for describing M. N. Roy’s philosophy. According to Dr. Ramendra, it is better to use “physical realism” for describing M. N. Roy’s theory of reality, a term preferred by Roy himself. In addition to being an authoritative exposition of M. N. Roy’s new humanism and materialism, Dr. Ramendra’s book is an authentic source of information on traditional materialism as well as on Marxian materialism.

J.P.'s Total Revolution and Humanism

Dr. Kawaljeet, 2002, pp. 80, Published by Buddhiwadi Foundation, Patna, Price  Rs. 50/-

The unique thing about the book is that it tries to evaluate J.P.'s  concept of total revolution from a humanist point of view. The author has compared and contrasted J.P.'s ideas with the ideas of well-known humanist thinkers, like Corliss Lamont and M.N.Roy. In addition to being an authoritative exposition of J.P.'s Total Revolution, the book is an important contribution to humanist literature.
