Reviews

Sikh Philosophy is an essential text for scholars, students and practitioners interested in the decolonization of thought and practice. This groundbreaking text offers a response to Western dualism and religious exclusivism by reorienting how we think about the self in relation to God, others, and time. Through Sikh concepts, Arvind Mandair invites the reader to joyfully encounter the act of thinking differently.

Professor Mandair has skilfully presented Sikh philosophy in a manner that liberates it from the Christocentric theological template in which it has so often been read. The book provides an accessible, highly creative and engaging exploration of Gurmat and is recommended for all who wish to explore and understand the rich, multi-layered fabric of Sikh thought.
