Review: A satisfying feast for long contemplation - From the viewpoint of an interested layman, and not an academic, I find this book to be most accessible. While many technical Sanskrit terms are used, their meaning is thoroughly and clearly explained both in the text and the glossary. I had no trouble following the text at all. Such a comprehensive collection of translations from the primary sources in a single volume is a marvelous achievement. The clarity is wonderful. This volume will provide food for contemplation for many years. Over the years I have come to trust the quality of the publications of World Wisdom. This excellent translation of the the source works and selections from the teachings of the major advaitic philosophers was no exception. I especially appreciated the last chapter summary of the basic principles of Advaita Vedanta (metaphysics, meta- psychological, epistemological, and axiological.) In fact, I would recommend that the knowledgeable reader start with this final chapter.
Review: Excellent read - Well written and explained, I find it easier to comprehend than some of the other books on the topic.
