This book explores the act of thinking as a living journey and re-examines the fields of social thoughts as conversations. It draws upon known sources of social thought in fields such as sociology but cultivates it in transdisciplinary and border-crossing ways by documenting and presenting the ideas of major thinkers and social activists in their social contexts and histories. It argues that the act of thinking is not an isolated activity, although it has its own dimension of meditative solitude which is accompanied by different circles and movements of relational engagement. It then cultivates an Upanishadic way of social life and social theorizing planting pioneering seeds of an Upanishadic sociology and an ecology of hope which embodies planetary conversations across borders. Social Thought as Conversations: A New Upanishad of Life and an Ecology of Hope is an outstanding work of our times which will be of interest to scholars and researchers of philosophy and the social sciences in general.
