Three Lectures on the Vedânta Philosophy: Delivered at the Royal Institution in March, 1894 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Three Lectures on the Vedânta Philosophy: Delivered at the Royal Institution in March, 1894I am fully aware of the difficulties which I shall have to encounter in trying to enlist your interest, nay, if possible, your sympathy, for an ancient system of Indian Philosophy, the Vedânta Philosophy. It is no easy task, even within the walls of this scientific Institution, to obtain a hearing for a mere system of philosophy, whether new or old. The world is too busy to listen to purely theoretical speculations; it wants exciting experiments and, if possible, tangible results.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
