A Modern Introduction to Madhva Philosophy

As the title of the book avows, it is a treatise on Madhva’s realistic school of Vedanta philosophy in a modern perspective. The author has made the treatise convincing to the modern mind by employing western logical apparatus in substantiating Madhva’s ideas. Following the Indian classical tradition, the author has examined the validity of Advaitavedanta, the Absolute Monism of Sankara and Bhaskara as Purvapak?a, and logically proved its inconsistencies. He has then established the Dvaitasiddhanta i.e., the Monotheistic Dualism of Madhva. He has successfully brought out the nuances of the realistic school of Indian philosophical thought in this work. A Modern Introduction to Madhva Philosophy is Prof B H Kotabagi’s posthumous publication.
