Quest for Certainty: A Comparative Study of Heidegger and Sankara (Revisioning Philosophy) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The siren of certainty calls...is there a truth, somewhere, which is so certain that no reasonable individual could doubt its veracity? The excitement of this quest comes from the scent of freedom. Both Heidegger and Sankara erect a «metaphysics of experience» upon the pillars of BEING, TRUTH, and FREEDOM. The comparative study of religion and philosophy will find that these two unique thinkers resonate together in an uncanny way even if they eventually come to different conclusions.

Review
« In this analytical and comparative study, the author has juxtaposed two great thinkers. In probing Truth and Existence with the tools of Sanskrit, he has completed a task that Heidegger himself was unable to accomplish. In a spirit that echoes the life work of Sankara, he has made Vedănta accessible to persons beyond those with Indological expertise. This book is a tribute to both.» (Christopher Chapple, Loyola Marymount University)
«A committed effort to appreciate the confluences between major thinkers in two great world traditions. The beginning is exciting and the exposition excellent. His accomplishment provokes thought into a new examination of truth and certitute, illusion and doubt, and our position with respect to knowledge claims.» (David Appelbaum, State University of New York - The College at New Paltz)
