An anthology of particular interest to academic philosophers and students of philosophy. Krishnamurti’s thought is quite removed from academic philosophy, particularly in the analytic tradition. There is a simple reason why this should be so: Krishnamurti was not interested in presenting theories; and theories are what academic philosophy is all about. Is it possible to live without relying psychologically on authority – either on external authority or even on the authority of one’s own past experience. For Jiddu Krishnamurti that, suitably qualified, is the key question. His answer is that it is possible and that only in this way can one connect fully with what is real.
