by George Thibaut (Author)

The Vedanta Sutras With The Commentary By Ramanuja is a book that delves into the ancient Indian philosophy of Vedanta. The book is written by George Thibaut and presents the Vedanta Sutras, which are a collection of aphorisms that summarize the teachings of the Upanishads, one of the primary texts of Hinduism. The book also includes the commentary of Ramanuja, a renowned philosopher and theologian who lived in India in the 11th and 12th centuries. Ramanuja's commentary provides a detailed explanation of the Vedanta Sutras and offers insights into the philosophical concepts they explore.The book is divided into four chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the Vedanta philosophy. These chapters cover topics such as the nature of Brahman (the ultimate reality), the relationship between the individual self and Brahman, and the path to liberation from the cycle of birth and death.Overall, The Vedanta Sutras With The Commentary By Ramanuja provides a comprehensive and insightful exploration of one of the most important philosophical traditions in India. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of Hindu philosophy and spirituality.For common observation shows that the consciousness of one person may become the object of the cognition of another, viz. of an inference founded on the person's friendly or unfriendly appearance and the like, and again that a person's own past states of consciousness become the object of his own cognition--as appears from judgments such as 'At one time I knew.' It cannot therefore be said 'If it is consciousness it is self-proved'.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
