Book by Patel Ramesh N

Críticas:

-A significantly original perspective on India's most famous and influential classic scripture. It challenges traditional interpretations with penetrating questions. Patel pursues his work with single-minded persistence, and the result is excellence.- (Archie J. Bahm, Author of 'Bhagavad-Gita: The Wisdom of Krishna')
-Patel's book is worth reading by philosophers interested in western and eastern philosophy alike; it will help dispel the myth that Hindu philosophy is uniformly idealistic or theistic or 'world-renouncing' and the myth that the method of Hindu philosophy is fundamentally disanalogous to the method of western science.- (Quentin Smith, International Philosphical Quarterly)
-This may be a watershed work. This new, archaic view deserves examination.- (Al Denman, The Antioch Review)
-This book will be of interest to students of philosophy of religion and ethics who are looking for innovative examples of non-Western exegesis.- (Guy L. Beck, Religious Studies Review)
-Sometimes, when one is beginning to wonder wether anything new and significant can be said on an overworked topic, a book appears to restore one's faith that scholarly vision is forever capable of penetrating to a further horizon, of discerning finer nuances and of discovering a new vein, just when one thought that all the ore had been minde. This is such a book.- (Arvind Sharma, Philosophy East & West)
