The Philosophy of Liberation: Revisiting Genuine Religious Experiences with Special Reference to Christianity

The author assumes that Theology of Liberation is a completely new hermeneutics, which involves re-thinking of the entire Christian experience from the perspective of the oppressed. However, for all its richness and promise, Theology of Liberation is, to a great extent, irrelevant for Asia in general and for India in particular. This is because the starting point of Theology of Liberation is the Scriptures of a tiny minority religion, which would not be able to motivate the vast majority of the people in India and Asia.

So, this book is a philosophical look at liberation and how we can free ourselves based on well-tested guidelines. The book is a radical, critical attempt at evolving a Philosophy of Liberation for Asia. It tries to build up a down-to-earth and critico-reflective vision of reality, founded on the human person in his/her entirety, that would sensitise us to oppressive and liberative understandings of man, woman, God and the world.
