  1. Philosophical Journey: Bridging the Gap.J. L. Shaw - 2019 - Journal of World Philosophies 4 (1):161-172.
    Throughout my philosophical journey, I have tried to bridge the gap between contemporary western philosophy and the analytical traditions of the Indian philosophical systems, especially Navya-Nyāya. Hence my aim has been to promote a dialogue between these two traditions where each can derive insights from the other.
