• Ethics and the History of Indian Philosophy. Delhi, Motilal Banarsidass 2007.

• Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtra (Translated into English from Sanskrit, with a Commentary and an Introduction). Penguin (Black Classics Series) 2008.
In this book I translate, comment on and introduce Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtra (circa 200 CE) by the theory of translation and moral semantics I defend in my dissertation. The Yoga Sūtra is thus shown to be a classic text of moral philosophy and moral psychology.
