Dr. Indrani Bhattacharjee

Dr. Indrani Bhattacharjee has doctoral degrees in philosophy from Jadavpur University and the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She has taught for over eight years at Azim Premji University, Bengaluru, and for shorter stints at Bridgewater State University and Tufts University in the United States. While her thinking and teaching are strongly influenced by her training in Analytic philosophy, Indrani is also interested in exploring veins of philosophical enquiry that actively combine dialectical thought with the deliverances of a synoptic and/or poetic vision and imagination. Her dominant research interest at this time is the early philosophical thought of Rabindranath Tagore (circa 1908-1916). Her areas of expertise and teaching competence include the philosophy of the Later Wittgenstein, philosophy of education, epistemology and aesthetics.
