Infos

Sri Aurobindo’s spiritual philosophy has roots and parallels in the Indian as well as the European cultural history. In his main work The Life Divine he refers especially to the ancient Vedic texts as sources with related approaches or experiences. But in his other titles there are also some references to European philosophers who had a similar vision in one or the other aspect. In the present title, his own utterances and evaluations are considered along with the results of comparative studies of various authors. In the end it becomes evident that there existed many kindred thoughts in Europe and that Sri Aurobindo’s intuitive philosophy can be viewed as a further development, or fulfilment, of some of these thoughts, which appear in a new light through the comparison.

Rezensionen

"The author tackles the complexities of philosophy with such utter simplicity and mental clarity that even those with a limited interest in the intricacies of philosophical argument may find themselves reading on with a happy mind... The overall landscape he draws with his light and unassuming pen is beauitful and inspiring... Readers who have no background in the rather interesting history of European thought may be surprised how many parallels there are in it to Indian philosophy."
