Description
Hindu thought has undergone a major reconfiguration in the 19th and the 20th centuries, in response to its encounter with the forces of modernity. A key element in this reconfiguration is the perception of Hinduism itself as a universal religion or, as a catalyst promoting the emergence of a universal religion, or, at the very least, as promoting religious universalism. This book examines the views of several major Hindu thinkers of this period, Swami Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi prominent among them, on this theme of modern Hinduism. This work is intended for use by Departments of philosophy and religion.
