Description

The purpose of this book is to help make possible a study of Advaita Vedanta in its classical form as this great tradition of thought actually functioned in Indian culture and as this tradition represents distinctive philosophical achievements. We are concerned in short to understand Advaita Vedanta both in terms of cultural history and philosophy. We are presenting translations of selections from the major Sanskrit writings of some of the most important advaitic thinkers, together with the appropriate background materials. We have not included in this work any material from the neo-Vedanta that has developed in. India in recent decades (e.g., Vivekananda, Aurobindo, Radhakrishnan) as the literature of this movement, having been written in English, is readily accessible.
