Ancient Tamil 'Tinai' Philosophy Offers Lessons on Living in Harmony With Nature

Professor Nirmal Selvamony has authored a book titled 'Tinai Philosophy: The Indigenous Lifeway for the Anthropocene', examining an ancient Tamil worldview. The concept of Tinai is rooted in the idea of harmonious coexistence between humans and all other living beings. Selvamony presents it not merely as a historical tradition but as a full-fledged philosophy and way of life. The book proposes that this indigenous framework holds relevant lessons for navigating the challenges of the modern environmental era known as the Anthropocene.
