This book explores modern intellectual debate and the vain attempts to find a substitute for religion. He discusses, drawing upon the traditions of the East and West, the nature and validity of religious experience. Finally, he creates a fine vision of man's evolution and the emergence of higher values. The range of subject combined with the author's own faith, undogmatic and free of creed, makes this book a philosophical education in itself.

Indian Philosophy, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Indian Philosophy, Vol. 2\nThe adoption of the critical method served to moderate the impetuosity of the speculative imagination and helped to Show that the pretended philosophies were not so firmly held as their professors supposed. But the iconoclastic fervour of the materialists, the sceptics and some followers of Buddhism destroyed all grounds of certitude. The Hindu mind did not contemplate this negative result with equanimity. Man cannot live on doubt. Intellectual pugilism is not sufficient by itself. The zest Of combat cannot feed the spirit of man. If we cannot establish through logic the truth of anything, so much the worse for logic. It cannot be that the hopes and aspirations of Sincere souls like the rsis Of the Upanisads are irrevocably doomed. It cannot be that cen turies of struggle and thought have not brought the mind one step nearer to the solution. Despair is not the only alter native. Reason assailed could find refuge in faith. The seers of the Upanisads are the great teachers in the school of sacred wisdom. They speak to us of the knowledge of God and Spiritual life. If the unassisted reason of man cannot attain any hold on reality by means of mere speen lation, help may be sought from the great writings of the seers who claim to have attained spiritual certainty. Thus strenuous attempts were made to justify by reason what faith implicitly accepts. This is not an irrational attitude, since philosophy is only an endeavour to interpret the widen ing experience Of humanity. The one danger that we have to avoid is lest faith Should furnish the conclusions for philosophy.\nAbout the Publisher\nForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Sourcebook in Indian Philosophy

Moore, Charles A.

Princeton University Press

Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, colleague of Gandhi, Nehru and Tagore, former Ambassador to the Soviet Union and now Vice-President of India, is regarded as the greatest living thinker of the East; the ablest representative of its rich philosophic tradition and its leading spokesman for a reconciliation of Eastern and Western spiritual values. In this volume, twenty-three world-renowned scholars have contributed a series of brilliant critical essays covering every aspect of Radhakrishnan's thought; his contributions to social philosophy and political philosophy, to modern religion and mysticism, to his influence on contemporary Hinduism, and his place in the main currents of twentieth century philosophy.
