Indian Thought and Western Theism: The Vedānta of Rāmānuja: Routledge Hindu Studies Series
Autor Martin Ganerien Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 mai 2017
In the modern period there have been many attempts to relate Western theistic traditions to classical Indian accounts of ultimate reality and the world. Parallels have usually been drawn with modern forms of Western philosophy or modern trends in theism. Modern Indological studies have continued to make substantial use of Western terms and concepts to describe and analyse Indian thought. A much-neglected area of study has been the relationship between Western scholastic theology and classical Indian thought. This book challenges existing parallels with modern philosophy of religion and forms of theism. It argues instead that there is an affinity between scholasticism and classical Indian traditions. It considers the thought of Rāmānuja (traditional dates 1017-1137 CE), who developed an influential theist and realist form of Vedānta, and considers how this relates to that of the most influential of Western scholastics, Thomas Aquinas (1224/5-1274 CE). Within what remain very different traditions we can see similar methods of enquiry, as well as common questions and concerns in their accounts of ultimate reality and of the world.
Arguing that there is indeed an affinity between the Western scholastic tradition and that of classical Indian thought, and suggesting a reversal of the tendencies of earlier interpretations, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of Asian religion, Hinduism and Indian philosophy.

Descriere
This book is the study of the encounter between Western scholasticism and one classical Indian tradition of religious thought and practice: the Vedānta. It challenges existing parallels with modern philosophy of religion and forms of theism. It argues instead that there is an affinity between scholastic theology and classical Indian traditions. It considers the thought of Rāmānuja (traditional dates 1017-1137 C.E), who developed an influential form theist and realist form of Vedānta, and considers how this relates to that of the most influential of Western scholastics, Thomas Aquinas (1225-1224/5-74 C.E.).
