Both comparative and critical meant to be an intensive philosophical study of Indian philosophies for post graduate students in India and outside. Almost half the number of pages are devoted to comparative and critical comments. It Will be an indispensable companion volume to standard works of S. Radhakrishnan and S.N Dasgupta .It is intended to be a counterpart in Indian thought to W. Windelband’s History of Philosophy in the west. Raju’s work makes it clearer than ever before that Indian philosophy is merely not Salvation doctrine, but also has a vigorous academic side, which makes it easy for western philosophers to comprehend Indian thought. The reader will see important and profound explanations of Time, Space, Causality, Being, Becoming, the Logos and its forms Transcendence, Immanence, Witness ( Husserl), the Ontology of the Spirit and so on. He Will see how important the idea of god as only the I-Am (Exodus, Bible) is to the Upanisads and many Indian thinkers, although it has not attracted the attention of western philosophers and theologians, who should have worked it out into a profound system of philosophy. Here lies the way to a spiritual rapprochement of the Biblical and Indian ontologies, which is implied by the Cartesian tradition, but overlooked. Lastly, this work will be extremely useful for east – west studies in depth. It Should Prove valuable for western philosophers to understand Indian Philosophy and for Indian Philosophers to understand western Philosophy.
