Sharmila Rege

Indian sociologist

In the history of thought, Sharmila Rege is one of the names that keeps being returned to.

The record lists Sharmila Rege as Indian sociologist.

Sharmila Rege was born at Pune in 1964. Her recorded nationality is India.

Contemporary philosophy is professionalised and specialised, conducted largely in journals and seminars.

The discipline keeps its dead in print, because the arguments are still open.

That the work was done from India matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.

Sharmila Rege died in 2013, aged 49. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
