Infinite Paths to Infinite Reality

Sri Ramakrishna and Cross-Cultural Philosophy of Religion

Beschreibung

This pioneering study examines the philosophy of the nineteenth-century Indian mystic Sri Ramakrishna, bringing him into dialogue with Western thinkers. Sri Ramakrishna's expansive conception of God as the impersonal-personal Infinite Reality, Maharaj argues, introduces a new paradigm for addressing central issues in the philosophy of religion.
