Winner of the Best Book in Hindu-Christian Studies Prize
(2013/2014) from the Society for Hindu-Christian Studies. The Gita
is a central text in Hindu traditions, and commentaries on it
express a range of philosophical-theological positions. Two of the
most significant commentaries are by Sankara, the founder of the
Advaita or Non-Dualist system of Vedic thought and by Ramanuja, the
founder of the Visistadvaita or Qualified Non-Dualist system. Their
commentaries offer rich resources for the conceptualization and
understanding of divine reality, the human self, being, the
relationship between God and human, and the moral psychology of
action and devotion. This book approaches their commentaries
through a study of the interaction between the abstract atman
(self) and the richer conception of the human person. While closely
reading the Sanskrit commentaries, Ram-Prasad develops
reconstructions of each philosophical-theological system, drawing
relevant and illuminating comparisons with contemporary Christian
theology and Western philosophy.
