Oneness and the Displacement of Self: Dialogues on Self-Realization: Value Inquiry Book Series / Interpretation and Translation, cartea 258

Autor Michael Krausz
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2012
This book presents a fictional dialogue among four former college friends about Oneness and self-realization. News of the sudden death of a relative occasions their discussion. One friend, a devotee of the Advaita or non-duality school of Hindu philosophy, seeks to short-circuit the pain and suffering characteristically associated with anxieties about human mortality. According to her, to be is to be the ultimate ineffable undifferentiated Being, the birthless and the deathless—the One. The other friends, whose philosophical attitudes are broadly pragmatist, relativist, and realist, inquire into her views. While the pragmatist looks to the advaitist for guidance about meditative practices, she does not renounce human existence. She welcomes the joys and satisfactions as well as the burdens and pains of human existence. In turn, the relativist is skeptical about theories that aim to reach beyond one’s historical, cultural or personal frame of reference. On his view, to be is to be in relationship, especially with other human beings. Finally, the realist seeks objective, frame-independent truth. In addition, he holds that the world is comprised of individual objects and their properties. Accordingly, he finds the idea of Oneness to be incomprehensible.

Recenzii

“In this probing dialogue, Michael Krausz does what rarely is done. He brings Hindu and analytic philosophy into conversation with each other. Moreover, he does this in a way that clarifies contrasting views about the reality of the self and the nature of the world. Oneness and the Displacement of Self sheds welcome new light on a topic of enduring interest.” – Mary Wiseman, The Graduate Center, City University of New York
