    A chapter based on a paper I gave at a conference on the Philosophical Letter will be appearing in a book later this year.  It’s called ‘Gandhi and the Correspondence Theory of Truth’, and the book is called Dear Friend, You Must Change Your Life: The Letters of Great Thinkers.  It’s edited by Ada Bronowski, and published by Bloomsbury.
