India's True Voice: A Critique of Oriental Philosophy

By Alvin Boyd Kuhn

Book Overview

India's True Voice: A Critique of Oriental Philosophy is a book written by Alvin Boyd Kuhn that delves into the philosophical traditions of India. The author provides a critical analysis of the various schools of thought that have emerged from the Indian subcontinent, including Vedanta, Yoga, and Buddhism. Kuhn argues that these philosophies are rooted in a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of reality and that they fail to provide a comprehensive understanding of the human experience. He also critiques the emphasis on asceticism and renunciation in these traditions, arguing that they lead to a denial of the material world and a rejection of the importance of the body. Instead, Kuhn proposes a new approach to understanding reality that is grounded in the principles of modern science and psychology. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the philosophical traditions of India and offers a unique perspective on the nature of reality and the human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
