'''Ashok K. Gangadean''' is a philosopher and author, the Margaret Gest Professor of Global Philosophy at Haverford College and founder-director of the Global Dialogue Institute. He is listed in ''[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]'' among the critics for his philosophical critique of Einstein. He received his Ph.D. in philosophy from Brandeis University.<br />
<br />
==Critique of Einstein==<br />
Gangadean authored the chapter "Ontological relativity: a metaphysical critique of Einstein's thought," published in 1987 in the volume ''Einstein and the Humanities'' (edited by Dennis P. Ryan, Greenwood Press). In it he examines the philosophical and ontological assumptions underlying Einstein's thinking, offering a metaphysical rather than a physical critique.<br />
<br />
==Work==<br />
Gangadean's broader work centers on logic, ontology and what he terms "global philosophy" and "integral reason," seeking a foundational logic underlying diverse worldviews and promoting cross-cultural dialogue. His writings include works on the logical and ontological foundations of global reason.<br />
