Vedanta or the Science of Reality

K.A. Krishnaswamy Iyer (Editor) S. Radhakrishnan (Foroward)

Synopsis

‘Vedanta or The Science of Reality’ is characterized by deep and vast scholarship, perspicacious analysis, fearless critical assessment and a remarkably arresting English style. The book is not a mere dogmatic assertion of the greatness of Vedanta, but a systematic establishment of an eternal Truth. "Vedanta is a Positive Science founded on reason, intuition and universal experience".

With a thorough and impeccable knowledge of Oriental and Occidental schools of philosophy, the author was able to cognize the relative merits of each system.

This monumental work examines all Philosophical dicta from Socrates, Plato and Aristotle down to Hegel, Schopenhauer and Rusell Vis-a—vis the truth enshrined in Vedanta.

About the authors

K.A. Krishnaswamy Iyer

K.A. Krishnaswamy Iyer is an ardent advocate of Shankara and in this work he attempts to transmit to his readers a little of his great enthusiasm for it. Mr. Iyer brings to his task a well-stored mind, critical insight and a capacity to envisage his subject as a whole.

Philosophy should base itself on acknowledged facts and not on hypothetical possibilities. So, after Gaudapada and Shankara, the author takes his stand on life with its three independent aspects of waking, dream and sleep.

K.A. Krishnaswamy Iyer was a celebrated writer par excellence, a constructive critic, a learned linguist, and a reputed educationist.

S. Radhakrishnan

Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan (1888-1975) is universally recognized as modern India's greatest philosopher. He was also a statesman of distinction, and even compared to Plato's ideal of the philosopher-king. After a brilliant academic career, he taught at a number of Indian and foreign universities, including at Oxford University, where he was the Spalding Professor of Eastern Religions and Ethics, before being appointed as the Vice-Chancellor of Benaras Hindu University. From 1962 to 1967 he was the President of India.
