The Shankara Dialogues
Beschreibung des Verlags
What if one of the world's most brilliant philosophers suddenly appeared in the modern age?
In The Shankara Dialogues, the eighth-century master of Advaita Vedānta encounters scientists, mathematicians, theologians, skeptics, spiritual seekers, and ordinary people struggling with fear, identity, death, and the nature of consciousness.
Can physics uncover ultimate reality? Is the brain the source of consciousness? Can infinity describe Brahman? How can many Hindu gods coexist with nonduality? What happens when Christianity, monotheism, neuroscience, and modern spirituality are placed under Śaṅkara's relentless logic?
Through sharp, often humorous Socratic-style exchanges, every assumption is examined and every easy answer tested.
A work of philosophical fiction about one timeless question:
What is ultimately real?
