The Philosophy of Religion and Advaita Vedanta : A Comparative Study in Religion and Reason Paperback / softback
by Arvind Sharma
Part of the Hermeneutics series
Paperback / softback
Description
Philosophy of religion, as we know it today, emerged in the West and has been shaped by Western philosophical and theological trends, while the philosophical tradition of India flowed along its own course until the late nineteenth century, when active, if tentative, contact was established between the West and the East.
This book provides a definite focus to this interaction by investigating issues raised in Western philosophy of religion from the perspective of Advaita Vedanta, the influential school of Indian thought.
In promoting the emergence of a cross-cultural philosophy of religion, Arvind Sharma focuses on John H.
Hick and his well-known work The Philosophy of Religion as representative of modern Western philosophy of religion, and on Sankara, along with his modern successors such as M.
Hiriyanna and S. Radhakrishnan, as representative of Advaita Vedanta.
