About the Book

"Understanding Sankara" is a collection of essays by Richard De Smet, exploring the philosophy of the Indian Advaitin master Sankara. De Smet challenges the traditional interpretation of Sankara as an illusionistic mayavadin, instead highlighting the doctrine of laksana or analogy in his teachings. The book attempts a dialogue between Sankara's Advaita and Christianity, offering insights into Indian philosophy and spirituality. It's a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Eastern thought.
