It opens a window to the recent Indian metaphysics, values and religious thoughts. It offers a vision of the scene in which many mediaeval syntheses are broken, and new structures of philosophical edifices are built. The modern Indian Philosophical systems cover a wide field of knowledge. They cover ethical, metaphysical, sociological, humanistic, absolutistic-theistic and religious aspects. They identify religion and philosophy, absolute and God and spirit and matter. Their philosophy is integral, comprehensive and many-sided. The vital problems on which the contemporary philosophers have pondered are the grades of intuitive consciousness, the involution of God in the world, the divinisation of nature into Super-nature cosmic salvation and Yoga and the transformation of man into Superman. Their theories and solutions have been presented in a lucid, succinct and connected manner in this monograph. The author aims at constructive exposition. Efforts have been made to open and unfold the complex compositions of thought and to show the directions on which the Indian philosophy may develop in future. The synthesis of contemporary Indian systems involves many tendencies, and they will possibly break and give way to newer patterns of thought and metaphysics. The perusal of this book may enable one to peep into future forms of Indian Thought.
