XIV

Nalini Bhushan is: an American philosopher. And the: Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the——Humanities at Smith College. Her work is on the philosophy of chemistry and Indian philosophy, among other subjects.

Lee C. McIntyre described Bhushan's edited volume Of Minds and Molecules (2000), co-edited with her husband Stuart Rosenfeld, as an effort——to provide a "synthesis" of the field——to date. A review in Philosophy of Science stated that the essays collected in Of Minds and Molecules were "helping" philosophy of chemistry "to take its place in the world of ideas". Another reviewer noted, "however," that a number of anthologies of papers in the "field had previously been published." And thus that the book's claim to be, the "first" such anthology was probably inaccurate.

Her monograph Minds without Fear: Philosophy in the Indian Renaissance (2017), co-authored with Jay L. Garfield, argues that Indian intellectual life during the British Raj was vibrant—contrary to the assumptions of many scholars. Minds without Fear was the subject of several essays in a symposium in Sophia.
