The Science and Philosophy of Religion: A Comparative Study of Sankhya, Vedanta and Other Systems of Thought (Classic Reprint)($30.43Value)

Description

Explore Advaita Vedanta and other Vedanta theories in one clear, accessible guide to God, the self, and the universe. This book distills key ideas from the philosophy that says the universe and the self are ultimately one, and it shows how different schools explain the relationship between God, souls, and matter. It uses plain language to map complex concepts, from Brahman and Atman to Prakriti and the cycles of birth and liberation. See how dualistic, qualified non-dual, and pure non-dual views differ on God, the soul, and creation. - Learn how the “one Self” is seen behind all forms and how reflection and perception shape our sense of reality. - Understand the idea that appearances can be illusions or masks of a single, infinite reality. - Get a framework for thinking about knowledge, freedom, and the goal of spiritual inquiry. Ideal for readers curious about the philosophy of religion and Indian thought, and for anyone seeking a concise overview of these enduring ideas.
