Identity as Reasoned
Choice
A South Asian Perspective on the
reach and resources of Public
and Practical reason in Shaping
Individual Identities
Jonardon Ganeri
• Draws on classical
Indian political
and philosophical
thought
• Demonstrates
how philosophical
theory is relevant
to problems
in politics and
society
This comparative survey argues that
identity is a formation of reason and
it draws on Indian theory to claim that
identities are constructed from exercises
of reason as derivation from exemplary
cases. It demonstrates that contemporary
debates on global governance and
cosmopolitan identities can benefit from
these Indian resources.
