Introductions and interpretive commentaries are provided. One of the most profoundly religious books of our time - The Spectator Science is a system of second causes, which cannot describe the world adequately, much less account for it. In this remarkable treatise, Radhakrishnan explores aspects of the modern intellectual debate on science vis-a-vis religion and the vain attempts to find a substitute for religion.
He discusses, drawing upon the traditions of East and West, the nature and validity of religious experience. Finally, he creates a fine vision of mans evolution and the emergence of higher values. The range of subjects combined with the authors own faith, undogmatic and free of creed, makes this book a philosophical education in itself.
In interpreting the philosophy and message of Rabindranath Tagore, the book interprets the Indian ideal of philosophy, religion, and art, of which his work is the outcome and expression. It is not known whether it is Rabindranath's own heart or the heart of India that is beating here.
In his work, India finds the lost word she was seeking. The familiar truths of Indian philosophy and religion, the value of which it has become fashionable to belittle even in the land of their birth, are here handled with such rare reverence and deep feeling that they seem to be almost new.
Dr Radhakrishnan's acquaintance with the soul of India, from which Rabindranath draws his inspiration, has helped him in this expository work. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, colleague of Gandhi, Nehru and Tagore, former Ambassador to the Soviet Union and now Vice-President of India, is regarded as the greatest living thinker of the East; the ablest representative of its rich philosophic tradition and its leading spokesman for a reconciliation of Eastern and Western spiritual values.
In this volume, twenty-three world-renowned scholars have contributed a series of brilliant critical essays covering every aspect of Radhakrishnan's thought; his contributions to social philosophy and political philosophy, to modern religion and mysticism, to his influence on contemporary Hinduism, and his place in the main currents of twentieth century philosophy.
The Nobel Prize winner, Rabindranath Tagore - 'the Indian Goethe', as Albert Schweitzer called him - was not only the foremost poet and playwright of modern India, but one of its most profound and influential thinkers.
Kalyan Sen Gupta's book is the first comprehensive introduction to Tagore's philosophical, socio-political and religious thinking. Drawing on Rabindranath's poetry as well as his essays, and against the background theme of his deep sensitivity to the holistic character of human life and the natural world, Sen Gupta explores the wide range of Tagore's thought.
His idea of spirituality, his reflections on the significance of death, his educational innovations and his relationship to his great contemporary, Gandhi, are among the topics that Sen Gupta discusses - as are Tagore's views on marriage, his distinctive understanding of Hinduism, and his prescient concerns for the natural environment.
Mohanty, underlines the continuing relevance of the two volumes and the philosophic tradition they represent. Lucidly written, these books will form essential reading for students, teachers, scholars of Indian philosophy as well as general reader interested in the development and growth of Indian thought.
He has compared Christianity, Islam and Buddhism in the light of Hinduism and stressed that the ultimate aim of these religions is the attainment of the universal self. The articles in the book analyse religions in a highly intellectual and balanced manner befitting Dr Radhakrisnan's stature as the most distinguished scholar of comparative religion and philosophy.
Introductions and interpretive commentaries are provided. His position has become significant to resurgent Hinduism because he has attempted, with considerable success, to modernize Sankara who is the universally accepted St. Thomas of Hinduism. Like Sankara he is trying to restate the eternal meaning of the Hindu religions. If Sankara's mission was to the Hindus alone, Radhakrishnan's is to the entire world.
In recent years Christian intellectuals of India are showing a growing interest in him, because he evaluates every point in Christian theology in the light of the re-interpreted religion of the Upanishads. We hope the book will prove successful in clinching the readers' interest.
