About the Book:
A masterly review of the evolving relationship between religion, science and culture, and the need to create a spiritual unity which will transcend and sustain the material unity of the world order.
Among the philosophers of our time, no one has achieved so much in so many fields... Never in the history of philosophy has there been quite such a world-figure.
Dr. Radhakrishnan's sweep is as wide as the world, and wider.
This book is not only meant to promote interpeople understanding but to awaken mankind to the danger of extinction of homo sapiens by nuclear destruction, the abyss it has reached by spiritual involution.
Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, (1888-1975) is universally recognized as modern India's greatest philosopher. He was also a statesman of distinction, and even compared to Plato's ideal of the philosopher-king.
Born in the pilgrim soil of Tirupati (now in Andhra Pradesh), he imbibed lasting impression of India's Vedic heritage during his formative years. Starting with his first teaching appointment in the Department of Philosophy at Madras Presidency College in 1909, he quickly established his reputation, and in 1921 became George V Professor of Philosophy in Calcutta University and the Spalding Professor of Eastern Religion and Ethics at Oxford University in 1936. In 1952 he accepted the office of India's first Vice President, and in 1962 assumed the office of the President of India.
