The Hindu Quest for the Perfection of Man (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781579101411)

""A lucid, thorough and fresh exploration of the material. This is an exceedingly helpful study and may be the best single textbook on the subject. Previously, there was little of note in between inadequate introductions to Hindu thought and the more specialized primary or secondary materials. Organ is a competent philosopher and presents the 'Hindu quest' in a scholarly and readable form...it is a key book for undergraduate libraries and would be an invaluable asset in a course which dealt seriously and at any length with the Hindu tradition. Excellent bibliography."" --Choice ""This is not just another book on Hinduism, but a source of systematic information..."" --Bibliography of Philosophy ""This scholarly and perceptive account makes Hindu beliefs and practices intelligible by showing how the contradictions which have puzzled Westerners are rooted in Human Diversity."" --The Review of Metaphysics
