"The West has often been more multicultural than it realised."

Jessica Frazier is a trailblazing philosopher based at the University of Oxford who works on Indian Philosophy and the European tradition of phenomenology. She is the Founder and Managing Editor of the Journal of Hindu Studies. Dr. Frazier is also a frequent consultant for the BBC and speaker on In Our Time.

Her research explores key philosophical themes across cultures, from Indian classical theories of Being to twentieth-century phenomenology.  Her work on Hindu ideas translates them into global terms, so that we can all think in new ways about issues that shape our society: the nature of a good life, justice and human rights, metaphysics, and the goals of community.

"Frazier has done a great job of offering us new ways of considering the relationship between ultimate reality and human desire." - David Haberman
