Fr Pierre Johanns is a key figure in the history of Christian
intellectual engagement with Hindu philosophy. He was the most
articulate figure in a group of Belgian Jesuits in Calcutta who
sought to develop the theological project initiated by
Brahmabandhab Upadhyay, a convert to Catholicism whose theology
conveyed a positive appreciation of aspects of Hindu advaitic
philosophy. Johanns began to publish a steady stream of articles in
the monthly Light of the East that analysed pertinent features of
Vedantic thought from the perspective of his neo-Thomistic
presuppositions. Johanns engaged in a thorough explication and
analysis of the thinking of the Hindu teachers Sankara, Ramanuja,
and Vallabha. He attempted to fashion a creative synthesis of their
views, constructing a new, holistic metaphysic from the raw
material of their respective philosophical theologies. This book
examines the theological writings of Pierre Johanns by situating
him within his historical context, by discussing how Johanns
interacted with Vedantic philosophy, and by assessing the success
of his project.
