Synopsis
Excerpt from The Upanishads and Life
It is becoming increasingly natural to turn to India for material illustrative of philosophical problems. Three-quarters of a century ago Cousin wrote, We are constrained to bow the knee to the philosophy of the East, and to see in the cradle of the human race the native land of the highest philosophy. On all hands the greatness of India's heritage of philosophic thought is being recognised, and vigorous efforts are being made to remove the barriers which centuries of differing custom and environment have placed between the Eastern and the Western mind. Ex oriente lux has become more than a meaningless motto, even though for the Western enquirer clouds of obscurity may still hang low over the eastern horizon.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the fundamental doctrines of the Upanishads and their influence on practical life, especially in India, where their ideas continue to shape religious, ethical, and social life. The author argues that any system of philosophy should provide a basis for practical living, and the Upanishads, as the chief storehouse of Indian philosophical thought, are examined to determine the nature of the guidance they offer. The book explores how the central place of pantheism in the Upanishads has shaped a holistic view of the world and our place within it, in the process offering valuable insights into the relationship between philosophy, religion, and ethics. This is a timely and important book that will appeal to anyone interested in Indian philosophy, the history of ideas, or the search for meaning in life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330689905_0
