In the history of thought, Debiprasad Chattopadhyay is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Debiprasad Chattopadhyay as Indian Marxist philosopher (1918–1993).
Debiprasad Chattopadhyay was born at Kolkata in 1918. His recorded nationality is Dominion of India. He studied at University of Calcutta.
Twentieth-century philosophy was marked by war, exile and ideology; many of its central figures wrote in flight or under censorship.
His academic posts were held at University of Calcutta.
The discipline keeps its dead in print, because the arguments are still open.
That the work was done from Dominion of India matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Debiprasad Chattopadhyay died in 1993, aged 75. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
