'''Krishna Chandra Bhattacharya''', also known as K.C. Bhattacharya, (12 May 1875 – 11 December 1949) was a philosopher at the [[University of Calcutta]] known for his method of "constructive interpretation" through which relations and problematics of ancient [[Indian philosophy|Indian philosophical systems]] are drawn out and developed so that they can be studied like problems of modern philosophy.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Chattopadhyaya|first1=Debiprasad|title=Lokayata: A Study in Ancient Indian Materialism|date=1992|publisher=People's Publishing House|location=New Delhi|isbn=81-7007-006-6|page=xi|edition=Seventh}}</ref> He was especially interested in the problematic of how the mind (or consciousness) creates an apparently material universe.<ref name="Lal1978 detailed bio">{{cite book|author=Basant Kumar Lal|title=Contemporary Indian Philosophy|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WGxYTLq6XzUC&pg=PA223|year=1978|publisher=Motilal Banarsidass|isbn=978-81-208-0261-2|page=223}}</ref> Bhattacharya encouraged the idea of an immersive cosmopolitanism in which Indian systems of philosophy were modernized through assimilation and immersion rather than to through a blind imitation of European ideas.<ref>{{Cite journal|url=https://www.academia.edu/29275455|title=Freedom in Thinking: The Immersive Cosmopolitanism of Krishnachandra Bhattacharya (2017)|journal=The Oxford Handbook of Indian Philosophy|last1=Ganeri|first1=Jonardon}}</ref><br />
