Description
Known to some as a revolutionary and political leader and to others as a yogi and spiritual guru, Sri Aurobindo was also an outstanding poet, literary critic, political and social theorist, and philosopher. In an attempt to understand this multifaceted genius in the totality of his contributions, this volume brings together essays by eminent scholars from diverse disciplines that critically assess his writings and their enduring relevance. Discussed prominently are the lasting importance of Aurobindo’s poetry and prose works and the continued applicability of his ideas on Indian culture and polity. Also evaluated in detail are the relations between Aurobindo’s thought and that of Indian and Western philosophers such as Shankaracharya and G.W.F. Hegel, as well as the depth of his spiritual ideas. Peter Heehs places these essays in context through his stimulating introduction, arguing that Aurobindo is not just a relic of historical interest but a figure of lasting importance and much contemporary relevance.
