About the Book
This thought-provoking volume, Neoplatonism and Indian Thought, presents a compelling exchange of ideas between scholars specializing in Neoplatonism and Indian philosophy. The nineteen essays included in this collection explore shared concepts, parallels, and possible historical influences between Indian philosophy and the works of late Greek thinkers, particularly the Alexandrine Platonists.
The essays cover a wide range of topics, including the influence of Hindu philosophy on Neoplatonism, with contributions from notable scholars such as:
-
John J.O. Meara on Indian Wisdom and Porphyry’s search for a Universal Way
-
Lawrence J. Hatab discussing Plotinus and the Upanishads
-
A.H. Armstrong and RR Ravindra exploring Buddhi in the Bhagavad Gita and Psyche in Plotinus
-
Pritibhusan Chatterji offering a comparative study between Plotinus and Sri Aurobindo
The book is based on papers presented at the International Congress on Neoplatonism and Indian Thought held at Brock University in Ontario in 1976. These papers aim to highlight the intellectual affinities between the two traditions, emphasizing their shared spiritual and metaphysical concerns.
While most of the essays focus on Hinduism, the volume briefly touches on Indian Buddhism and the Islamic Indian tradition, offering a balanced perspective of the philosophical dialogue between East and West. This work serves as an introduction to comparative philosophy, shedding light on the historical, philosophical, and spiritual connections between Neoplatonism and Indian Thought.
