Details:
Dialectics serves as the fundamental method of analysis in Upanishadic literature and is employed as a tool for higher understanding in texts like the Bhagavad Gita and Yoga-Vasishtha. While dialectical methodology originated in the West around the fifth century BCE, it has been utilized in diverse ways by classical thinkers, Christian theologians, and modern philosophers such as Kant, Fichte, Hegel, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Engels.

In this book, Nataraja Guru presents an integrated perspective that unifies Eastern and Western traditions of dialectics. He introduces the principles of dialectical methodology and applies them to various aspects of human understanding, including the relationship between man and woman, proto-language and meta-language (with references to Indian iconography), and the contrast between romance and tragedy in literature.

Furthermore, the book explores dialectics in the context of social issues but with a distinct approach that diverges from the views of Hegel, Marx, and Engels. It also highlights the values found in primitive societies, emphasizing coexistence, unity, and collective security.

This volume offers an insightful exploration of Nataraja Guru’s philosophical position and his unitive teachings, making it a valuable resource for philosophers, scholars, and general readers interested in dialectical reasoning and comparative philosophy.
