Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Liberation of Intellect: Neohumanism
1) Regarding the notability of the subject matter of this book, as I mentioned in my '''Keep''' vote, it has been assigned Mid-importance on the Philosophy portal's importance scale. So, clearly, someone considers the subject to be notable. (2) Regarding "The Liberation of Intellect: Neohumanism", it is the foundation of Sarkar's philosophy, neohumanism. As such this book has clearly made a significant contribution to a significant political or religious movement (per ). (3) This book is mentioned in at least two third-party, independent reviews by Helen Crovetto. In her chapter of James R. Lewis's "Violence and New Religious Movements" (2011, Oxford University Press), Crovetto writes: "In The Liberation of Intellect: Neo-Humanism (1983), Sarkar did not limit himself to humanistic concerns and defended the developmental rights of animals, plants, and even allegedly nonsentient entities such as rocks. Likewise, Ananda Margiis consider themselves to be broad-minded universalists." With this one statement, she both discusses this book and implies that this book has made a significant contribution to a significant political or religious movement (again, per ). Furthermore, Helen Crovetto also wrote a separate article dedicated specifically to Sarkar's neohumanism. That article is: Crovetto, Helen. 2005. "Ananda Marga’s Tantric Neo-humanism", published as pages 47-49 of the "Encyclopedia of Religion and Nature", ed. Bron Taylor, New York: Continuum International. Unfortunately, I currently do not have access to the "Encyclopedia of Religion and Nature", but it would be virtually impossible to write a two-page treatment of Sarkar's neohumanism in a scholarly publication without referencing the book under discussion here, "The Liberation of Intellect: Neohumanism". Anyone here with access to the "Encyclopedia of Religion and Nature" may kindly confirm this point if they have any doubt about it. So I think that notability of this book is well-established by any standards, including even the strictest interpretation of Wikipedia standards
