Product Description

This book serves both as a critique of metaphysics and as an exploration of its deeper significance. Traditionally, metaphysics has been viewed as an attempt to explain the world's existence through an ultimate reality or cause. However, an alternative approach, found in the philosophy of Shankara and the Upanishads, emphasizes the need to first understand the true nature of empirical reality before seeking its explanation.

Through a critical analysis of key metaphysical concepts—including the nature of the world, causal explanations, the ontological status of matter, and the relationship between consciousness and self—this book delves into the Advaitic insight that Brahman is the true nature of the world we experience. By evaluating different schools of thought, the work presents a comprehensive understanding of metaphysical inquiry from an Advaita Vedanta perspective.

This book is an essential resource for students and scholars of Indian philosophy, Advaita Vedanta, and metaphysical studies, offering profound insights into the nature of reality and existence.
