Professor Mohanty, who was emeritus at Temple University, wrote widely on Kant and Husserl, as well as on classical Indian philosophy. I will add links to memorial notices as they appear. Comments are open for remembrances from those who knew Professor Mohanty or who wish to comment on the significance of his work.
