Religious Philosophy Of Tagore & Radhakrishnan: A Comparative And Analytical Study (Foreword By Basant Kumar Lal)

This work presents an exposition of the religious philosophies of Rabindranath Tagore and Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, comparing their views on various religious topics. It identifies both the commonalities and differences in their perspectives. Through this comparative study, key religious concepts in each chapter are clarified.

The author asserts that Tagore and Radhakrishnan's views on God, the world, the problem of evil, humanism, mysticism, and self-realization offer profound insights into important religious concepts. The book combines a traditional approach to the philosophy of religion with modern perspectives found in contemporary religious philosophy.

By conducting a comparative and analytical study, the author hopes to provide new directions for the development of contemporary Indian religious philosophy.
