Advaita Vedanta is the most important philosophical system in
India. It involves a discipline of spiritual experience as well as
a technical philosophy, and since the time of Samkara in the ninth
century some of the greatest intellects in India have contributed
to its development.
In his reconstruction of Advaita Vedanta, Eliot Deutsch has
lifted the system out of its historical/cultural context and has
concentrated attention on those ideas which have enduring
philosophical value. He has sought to formulate systematically
one's understanding of what is of universal philosophical interest
in Vedantic thought. Professor Deutsch's work covers the basic
metaphysical, epitstemological, and ethical ideas of Vedanta.
Students and scholars of Western as well as of Indian philosophy
will be interested in the lucid, organised manner in which the
material is presented and in the fresh interpretations given. The
book is written in a critical rather than simply "pious" spirit and
should thus also be of interest to anyone interested in deepening
his or her appreciation and understanding of the richness of Indian
thought.
