Few can equal Chatterjee's astonishing breadth of scholarship and ethical depth.

This wide-ranging book describes the ways in which the ideal of brotherhood has been explicated by-among others-ancient Hebrews and modern Hindus, freemasons and feminists, nuns and Nazis. . . . Probably Chatterjee's best book yet.

Jenny Teichman, New Hall, University of Cambridge

Elegantly written, these essays are short, full of useful insights, balanced. . . . They draw on the vast reservoir of the author's knowledge of philosophy Eastern and Western , Modern and Contemporary. The reader is exposed to a brilliant array of thinkers, among them Husserl, Buber, Levinas, Sri Aurobindo, Radhakrishnan, Keshav Chunder Sen, and Mendelsohn. Each essay can stand on its own, but the thread of the search for amity gives them a supervening unity.
