ABSTRACT

This exposition of the philosophical position developed in Ramchandra Gandhi’s later work is essentially built around his Gachibowli lectures. From January to April 1992, he spoke twice a week at the Department of Philosophy on the University of Hyderabad’s Gachibowli campus, at what was then the edge of Hyderabad city. e location suffices to identify these lectures uniquely; hence this talk of ‘the Gachibowli period’. At the time of his regular, and longer, full-time appointment at the university in the 1970s, the philosophy department was located at the university’s Golden reshold campus in the heart of town.
