Every debt demands&nbsp;to be paid, but not all are redeemed.&nbsp;Then there are the debts that we owe to&nbsp;the all that we read, which we can never&nbsp;really repay. In that sense we are all&nbsp;namak-harams, defaulters to the debt of&nbsp;purloined knowledge. Someday, a Hamlet&nbsp;will issue a stern reprimand,&nbsp;saying,&nbsp;\u201cThere are more things on heaven and&nbsp;earth, namak-haram, than are dreamt&nbsp;of in your philosophy\u201d.

What titles&nbsp;would one browse if one came across its&nbsp;stacks, folded into the course of a tiring&nbsp;day like a mirage in a desert? Can books&nbsp;be desired into existence by reciting the&nbsp;spells that are waiting to be read off the&nbsp;surfaces of their wished-for spines? Can&nbsp;the Namak Haram ever repay his debts,&nbsp;with interest?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\"><em>The Philosophy of the Namak-Haram<\/em>\u00a0is a work that speaks to bibliophilia, day-dreams, intellectual debt (which doesn\u2019t\u00a0yet have lawyers, unlike intellectual\u00a0property) and the pleasures of book-binding.

The absent titles on the spines accumulate to form a backbone for thoughts that need articulation. This could be knowledge that still lies in waiting, or a store house of untried ideas. Before a thought finds the vehicle of words, it has to find its fuel in silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">No transports of knowledge are possible without stepping into the unknown. Which idea takes flight, which question arrives, or departs is what makes the waiting worth its while. The question of a sustainable future is deeply tied to new ecologies of knowledge. Knowledge, like nature, is also a system where the life forms of ideas are endangered by forms of intellectual enclosure. Keeping the doors of knowledge open to new ideas, and ensuring that the commons of knowledge are not poisoned by the principles of hierarchy and property are one of the reasons why we feel there will always need to be worlds that still wait to be churned.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a
