In his writings on India, Hegel characterized Indian thought as "fantastic./ "subjective," "wild./ "dreamy./ "frenzied./ "absurd': and "repetitive/ If Indian art, religion, and philosophy were so inadequate, what explains his life-long fascination with India? This unique volume brings together Hegel's reflections and argues that Indian thought haunted him, representing a nemesis to his own philosophy. Further, it indicates that the longstanding critical appraisals of Hegel are incommensurate with his detailed explorations of Indian thought.
