S. Radhakrishnan
This remarkable work explores the central ideas of Indian philosophy and religion, tracing their profound influence on Western thought from ancient times through the Renaissance and Enlightenment to the modern era. It also presents a compelling argument that Christianity, rooted in the East but shaped by Graeco-Roman culture, may find renewal through a deeper connection with its Eastern origins.

Description
Written by a noted philosopher and former president of India, this remarkable book describes the leading ideas of Indian philosophy and religion, and traces their influence upon Western thought from classical times, through the Renaissance and the Enlightenment, to the present day. The author also argues that Christianity, which arose out of an Eastern background but flourished in the Graeco-Roman culture, will eventually find its re-birth in a renewed alliance with its Eastern origins.

S. Radhakrishnan
Review
This challenging and beautifully written book describes key ideas of Indian philosophy and religion, and defends them from the attacks by certain critics. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan expresses the urgency of treating the world as a unit and points to cohesion in the history of ideas from various cultures. His arguments are firmly grounded in a philosopher?s appraisal of diverse knowledge systems, formulated with characteristic clarity.
In this book, Radhakrishnan traces the influence of Indian mysticism upon Greek thought and on Christian development through Alexandrian Judaism, Christian Gnosticism, and Neo-Platonism. He argues that Christianity, which has its roots in an Eastern background and which in its early years became wedded to Graeco-Latin culture, will find its rebirth in a renewed alliance with its Eastern heritage.
?This book may well mark the turning point in Western civilization. It certainly should.?
