{"product_id":"divine-self-human-self-ram-prasad-chakravarthi-9781441182654","title":"Divine Self, Human Self: The Philosophy of Being in Two Gita Commentaries","description":"The \u003ci\u003eGita\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eatman\u003c\/i\u003e (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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ram-Prasad Chakravarthi,Chakravarthi Ram-Prasad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441182659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441182654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/04\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2014","brand":"Ram-Prasad Chakravarthi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425260716287,"sku":"9781441182654","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b034a8b-5d44-40db-9a5e-23224f445994.jpg?v=1761538043","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/divine-self-human-self-ram-prasad-chakravarthi-9781441182654","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
