This is a selection of Professor R. K. Dasgupta's papers and speeches on philosophy and philosophers �ranging from Dante Alighieri to Swami Vivekananda. A profound scholar with a versatile mind, the professor is well-versed as much in philosophy as in literature, and the reader is sure to benefit by his lucid exposition of abstruse topics.
This I have seen in life -- those who are overcautious about themselves fall into dangers at every step; those who are afraid of losing honor and respect, get only disgrace; and those who are always afraid of loss, always lose.
-Swami Vivekananda
