More about the book
Exploring the intersections of philosophy, this work defends Shankara's Advaita Vedānta alongside the Greek Idealism of Parmenides and Plato. Deussen identifies a common theme in these philosophies: the distinction between the world of appearances and Ideal Reality, paralleling Kant's concept of 'things in themselves.' He critiques the evolution of these ideas, noting a decline in the original Vedic and Upanishadic perspectives and the misinterpretation of Kant's insights by later thinkers, except for Schopenhauer, who grasped the notion of the world as a representation shaped by the intellect.
