520			_a The west: The history of an idea by Georgios Varousxakis Princeton university press, Princeton, 2025, 491pp. Rs.3031, ISBN9780691177182. Reproduced This books is an important contribution in studies relating to the idea of “the West”. However, amidst the discussions on this subject over two centuries, Variuxakis places himself as detached observers. His prose is dry and factual, even us be resists every opportunity to join the cut and thrust of discussions of the learned protagonists he is writing about and share with us what he thinks about ether assertions. He shields himself by pointing out that the books “neither needs nor aspires to present a balance sheet of what “it the West has done in history”. Reproduced
