About The Book:
Debiprasad: Sahitya Bijnan o Darshan Bhabna is a tribute to the life and work of Debiprasad Chattopadhyay (1918–1993), one of the foremost pioneers in the revival of Lokayata philosophy and a unique historian of science in ancient India. The book delves into the lineage of Indian studies, tracing its roots from scholars like Bhupendranath Dutta, Rahul Sankrityayan, and D.D. Kosambi, of whom Debiprasad was a worthy successor.

Debiprasad Chattopadhyay is known for his profound insights into the relationship between human beings, society, and philosophy. His thoughts on human life resonate with the idea that "there is no personal life of an individual that is not intertwined with the greater social life." This book, written by Shyamal Chakraborty, a professor at the University of Calcutta and recipient of a national award from the Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India, presents a comprehensive account of Debiprasad’s philosophical and scientific contributions.

The work also explores his contributions to the history of science in ancient India and his unique perspective on literature, science, and philosophy. As a tribute to his centenary, this book not only honors his legacy but also examines his impactful role in shaping contemporary Indian thought.
