Transformative Philosophy (A Study of Sankara, Fichte, and Heidegger)

In the History of Philosophy there have been certain figures for whom philosophy has been not so much a quest for true ideas as search for higher states of consciousness. Such thinkers tell us that ordinary experience is a dream, an illusion, a faint reflection of what is truly real, and that if we are to know the truly real we must awaken from the dream, enliven slumbering faculties, make a transition to a new state of awareness. Fichte and Sankara, the two thinkers with whom the present study is primarily concerned are philosophers of this category.

The present book is divided into four chapters. Ch. 1 The Transformative Structure of Sankara's Advaita Vedanta ; Ch. 2 Indian Philosophy, Western Philosophy, and the Problem of Intelligibility ; Ch.3 Fichte as Transformative Philosopher ; and Ch. 4 Ramifications of Transformative Philosophy. The book contains exhaustive notes, bibliography, and an index.
