Nalini Bhushan
Nalini Bhushan is an American philosopher and the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Smith College.[1] Her work is on the philosophy of chemistry and Indian philosophy, among other subjects.
Lee C. McIntyre described Bhushan's edited volume Of Minds and Molecules (2000), co-edited with her husband Stuart Rosenfeld, as an effort to provide a "synthesis" of the field to date.[2] A review in Philosophy of Science stated that the essays collected in Of Minds and Molecules were "helping" philosophy of chemistry "to take its place in the world of ideas".[3] Another reviewer noted, however, that a number of anthologies of papers in the field had previously been published, and thus that the book's claim to be the "first" such anthology was probably inaccurate.[4]
Her monograph Minds without Fear: Philosophy in the Indian Renaissance (2017), co-authored with Jay L. Garfield, argues that Indian intellectual life during the British Raj was vibrant—contrary to the assumptions of many scholars.[5][6] Minds without Fear was the subject of several essays in a symposium in Sophia.[7]
