Vedanta Philosophy

Vedanta Philosophy is the system of Philosophy that is chiefly concerned with the Soul and its relation to God. The soul in this work has been defined in all its aspects, including its interpretation by the Greek, Medieval and modern Philosophe Vedanta Philosophy is a religion and a philosophy at the same time, which strives after truth and thus forms the most weighty authority of the Hindus for their social and religious institutions. This classic work is the result of Max. Muller’s own experience during a long life devoted to the study of many philosophies and many religions. Author traces the origin of Vedanta and how its study-both philosophical and religious is the essential starting point for intelligent Indian philosophy, which dates back to more than two thousand years, quoting the great philosopher Schopenhauer’s opinion of Vedanta Philosophy as: ‘In the whole world there is no study so beneficial and so elevating as that of the Vedas. It has been solace of my life, it will be solace of my death’.

This work thoroughly acquaints the reader with all the system of Vedanta Philosophy, explaining how Vedanta means the final object of Veda-which is equated to the Hindu Bible during the three thousand years of its existance and why Veda is still recognized as the highest authority on all religious questions. The other unique feature of this work is comprehensive study of the similarities and the differences between Indian and European Philosophy.
