About the Book

Balkrishna Naipaul's aim in The Naked Philosopher as The Intuitive Self is to clear up muddled confusion about how philosophers arrive at philosophy; philosophers should not concern themselves so much with what is actually happening; their proper concern is with what is possible, or conceivable, which comes together after long contemplation, from where arises the Intuitive Self. Once this emergence is grasped, it is then examined against concepts and the manner in which they fit together as seen in the rules of language and of grammar. However, the rules of language from the Western viewpoint is limited because its ongoing misunderstanding of uses of words based on forms of expression. For this reason, emphasis is put on the origins of language pertaining to Hindu linguistics, which has much to do with sound, and spontaneous recognition of vowels that give meaning to words that flow into sentences. From this angle, Western philosophy is examined, and a gradual understanding is shown how much western philosophy owes both its origins and ongoing quest to Hindu philosophy.
About the Author: Balkrishna Naipaul was born in Trinidad and educated at London where he read History, Economics and International Relations. After working as a Senior Lecturer at Leeds for two years, he migrated to Canada in 1968 and lived in Saskatchewan where he worked as an educator before leaving to serve as the permanent representative of Development Educators for World Peace at the United Nations. During that time, a period of some twenty years, he consulted with world leaders in most parts of the world. While at the U.N. he founded the international tabloid, Global Times, which he edited until 1994. In 1998, he vacated his position at the U.N. to devoted his time to the writing of fiction. In 2005 he was awarded the prestigious title of Saahitya Mani from the Shikshayatan Institute of America for the first two books of his trilogy (Arc of The Horizon and Legends of The Emperor's Ring), and his contributions to world literature. In 2006, he was selected by the World Development Forum to receive their most lucrative award for "his outstanding contributions to literature and successful achievement as a WORLD RENOWNED AUTHOR OF BOOKS." In 2010, he was awarded The Shabdakantih Order of Literature from the Shabdakantih Awards Academy that carried a gold medal, a plaque, and cash award of $50.000.00. In 2012 the Indo-Caribbean Council Awarded Balkrishna Naipaul with the Recognition for his "accomplished and prolific literary abilities, emanating from his three novels set in Trinidad: The Other Side of The House, The Mansion, and Dancing Moon Under The Peepal Tree. In 2012 Mr. Balkrishna Naipaul received the Medallion of Honour and Lifetime Literary Achievement Award from NALIS (The National Library and Information System) under the auspices of the Ministry of Education Trinidad and Tobago in recognition of his contribution to the nation's 50 Years of Literature 1962-2012. In 2012, Mr. Naipaul was recognized as a significant writer and leader in the Trinidad and Tobago Community in Canada in the 400-page commemorative volume, Together we Aspire Together we Achieve published in 2012 to celebrate T&T's Golden Independence Jubilee. And in the following year, in 2013, another Award came with the title of Saahitya Shiromani by the Shikshayatan Institute of America for his book of poems, Finding the Voice. This award, according to the meaning of Shiromani, depicts MR. Naipaul's literary achievement as the quintessential jewel among poets.
