Product Description
Review
In Heidegger, Phenomenology and Indian Thought, Peter Wilberg expertly develops Boss's intuition in new depth and detail, showing the proximity of Heideggerian thinking to the most profound phenomenological dimensions of Indian yogic and tantric thought...He superbly shows that these are dimensions of awareness unrecognised in Husserlian phenomenology and sadly obscured by the persistent Eurocentrism of Western academic philosophy in general. --Publisher - New Gnosis Publications
Product Description
'Being is no longer the essential matter to be thought.' Martin Heidegger. Western thought clings to the notion that consciousness is essentially both 'intentional' (awareness of something) and the private property of an egoic 'subject'. It has no concept of a Universal Awareness or 'Absolute Subjectivity' of the sort that Indian thought has long understood as the source of all individualised consciousness. Yet in the language of Martin Heidegger we find words such as 'The Open' or 'The Illuminating Clearing', which suggest a primordial 'space' or 'light' of awareness - one that is the condition for any consciousness of things, and is not the private property of any being, body, brain or 'ego'. Heidegger, Phenomenology and Indian Thought explores in an original way the proximity of this language to those schools of Indian thought which recognise a pure, universal and 'non-intentional' dimension of consciousness - an Awareness (Chit) prior to and transcending 'Being' itself (Sat).
