This book is a comprehensive odyssey, bringing new life to sociology by going beyond conventional paradigms and disciplinary boundaries. The book is a bold and pioneering endeavor in its quest for a new vision and practice of the idea of society. Offering the concept of society as ontological sociality and as a space of meditative verbs of co-realizations, self as well as collective, the book continues the border-crossing, transgressive, and transformative quest of those seeking knowledge and practice. It pleads for going beyond parochialism, both metropolitan and native, Western and Indian, and realises sociology as part of multi-dimensional planetary conversations involving both comparative global studies as well as cross-cultural conversations. Thoughtfully argued and lucidly written, “Sociology and Beyond: Windows and Horizons” pleads for the sadhana of a trans disciplinary, trans paradigmatic, and transformative sociology, animated by the passion of self-development, inclusion of the other, and planetary realizations. The book is based on a critical trans-disciplinary platform to current phenomena related to globalization and beyond.
