Reading Experience
At 26,098 words across roughly 104 pages, this one runs about 2.2 hours of reading time. Long enough to dig into its subject properly, short enough that it does not lose you along the way. For philosophy & ethics, this length tends to work well — room to develop ideas without padding.
About the Author
Written in 2023 when Atharva Inamdar was 26, The Dialectic of Desire comes from the final year before the comeback. After years of writing with no publisher willing to handle a catalog of 1,500+ books, this philosophy & ethics work represents persistence through industry rejection. Philosophy is woven through the entire catalog, but these 40 dedicated titles tackle the big questions head-on rather than embedding them in fiction or memoir.
