Contrary to previous ahistorical approaches centered on unchanging 'schools', Elisa Freschi focuses on and reconstructs the intellectual figure of Veṅkaṭanātha and his philosophical and theological contribution to what we now call 'Viśiṣṭādvaita Vedānta'. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume explores how Viśiṣṭādvaita Vedānta as we know it now is largely a product of Veṅkaṭanātha's unique philosophical and theological contributions. He connected various texts and theories so that readers and practitioners looking at the time before Veṅkaṭanātha now recognize them as parts of a unitary whole. Once Veṅkaṭanātha's contribution is in place it is in fact easy to look back at authors before him and recognize them as pieces of the same jigsaw puzzle. Freschi presents a novel reading of Veṅkaṭanātha through focused chapters on his epistemology, ontology, soteriology, and theology, examining both the range and theoretical basis of his synthesis and methodology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elisa Freschi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198927452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198927457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Elisa Freschi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48588376735999,"sku":"9780198927457","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_74e260e4-a800-46b7-9fc6-79fac189194c.jpg?v=1780174392","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/one-god-one-system-elisa-freschi-9780198927457","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
