内容説明
This volume examines the role of divine grace in the non-dualist soteriology of Sam kara. The author argues that grace is an essential but generally overlooked feature in Sam kara's enlightenment spirituality.
Introductory chapters summarize recent developments in Sam kara research, Sam kara's epistemology and ontology, ancient Vedantic teachings on grace, and modern scholarly disagreement about grace in Sam kara's Advaita system. The heart of the book consists of two lengthy exegetical chapters examining Sam kara's key passages on grace from his dozen genuine works. The final chapter presents for the first time a systematic summary of Sam kara's understanding of the operation and necessity of divine grace.
This book provides a useful summary of Sam kara's system as a whole besides offering a radical revision of the standard understanding of Sam kara's soteriology. It also reveals that Sam kara was much more indebted in his thinking to his Vedantic predecessors than had hitherto been thought.
