Publisher's Synopsis
Brahman-Knowledge is a book that provides a comprehensive overview of the philosophy of Vedanta, as explained by the Upanishads and Sankara. The author, L.D. Barnett, delves into the concept of Brahman, the ultimate reality of the universe, and explores the various ways in which it is understood and interpreted in the Vedantic tradition. The book discusses the different paths to attaining knowledge of Brahman, including the path of devotion and the path of knowledge, and explains the role of meditation and self-realization in this process. Barnett also examines the relationship between Brahman and the individual self, or Atman, and the implications of this relationship for human existence and spiritual growth. Overall, Brahman-Knowledge is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Vedanta philosophy and the pursuit of spiritual knowledge and understanding.1907. In the main, the Vedanta agrees with the teaching of Parmenides and the early Eleatics of his school, and has many points of contact with Plato's idealism. But whereas the Greek philosophers were only professors, the Vedanta has always had a deep practical significance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
