The Two Schools Of The Vedanta

The Two Schools of the Vedanta is a book written by F. Max Muller that explores the two main schools of thought within the Vedanta philosophy of Hinduism. The Vedanta is one of the six orthodox schools of Hindu philosophy and focuses on the interpretation of the Upanishads, the ancient Hindu scriptures. Muller's book provides an in-depth analysis of the two schools of the Vedanta, namely the Advaita Vedanta and the Vishishtadvaita Vedanta. The former believes in the ultimate unity of the individual soul with the universal soul, while the latter believes in a qualified non-dualism where the individual soul is not entirely absorbed into the universal soul. The book explores the historical development of these two schools, their key philosophical concepts, and their differences in interpretation of the Upanishads. Muller also provides a critical analysis of both schools, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. Overall, The Two Schools of the Vedanta is a comprehensive and insightful study of the Vedanta philosophy, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students of Hinduism and Indian philosophy.THIS 30 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Theosophy or Psychological Religion, by F.
