Harold Coward explores how the psychological aspects of Yoga
philosophy have been important to intellectual developments both
East and West. Foundational for Hindu, Jaina, and Buddhist thought
and spiritual practice, Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, the classical
statement of Eastern Yoga, are unique in their emphasis on the
nature and importance of psychological processes. Yoga's influence
is explored in the work of both the seminal Indian thinker
Bhartrhari (c. 600 C.E.) and among key figures in Western
psychology: founders Freud and Jung, as well as contemporary
transpersonalists such as Washburn, Tart, and Ornstein.
Coward shows how the yogic notion of psychological processes
makes Bhartrhari's philosophy of language and his theology of
revelation possible. He goes on to explore how Western psychology
has been influenced by incorporating or rejecting Patanjali's Yoga.
The implications of these trends in Western thought for mysticism
and memory are examined as well.
