Autorenporträt
Krishnan Venkatesh has taught Eastern and Western philosophy for three decades at St. John's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Born in Malaysia to a Hakka Chinese mother and Brahmin Indian father, he was raised and educated in England, and worked at universities in Germany and China. He exercises principled opposition to the certainties of all kinds of fundamentalisms and rigid traditionalisms, and believes that genuine respect for other people and peoples, as opposed to a mere posture of respect, has to be rooted in rigorous, nuanced understanding of their ways and thoughts.
