This work is a contribution to certain aspects of idealistic
philosophy. It is a comparative study, yet it is not a comparison
for the sake of comparison. This book examines the supra-rational
Absolutism of the West developed under the Hegelian influence, and
in the light of the criticisms shows the peculiar character of the
Advaita Vedanta of Sankara. It is therefore not a mere exposition,
but a criticism and construction. The discussions are not
cosmological, but epistemological and metaphysical, approached from
the side of logic. The work may also be viewed as a reorientation
of Sankara's system. It places Sankara's philosophy in line with
the idealistic philosophies of the West, so that we can understand
the peculiarities of the former in terms of the latter. It thus
discovers or brings into clearer light the guiding principle of
Sankara's thought. It brings out the full significance of the
principles of non-contradiction applied by Sankara as a test of
truth and reality, and shows its difference from the same principle
as understood by Hegel and the Hegelians. The aim of this work is
to attempt at laying the metaphysical foundation of the logic of
supra-rational Absolutism, the interpretation of Advaita is based
mostly on polemical works.
