Description

The nature of consciousness or human awareness is one of the problems of perennial concern to philosophers and psychologists alike. Here is a systematic critical and comparative study of the nature of human awareness according to the most influential school of classical Indian thought. After introducing the Advaita Philosophical system and indicating the place of consciousness in this system the author presents a detailed discussion of the Advaitin's unique non-dual understanding of man's basic intelligence. He continues with an analysis of Advaitin's hierarchical vision of waking dreams and dreamless sleep experiences and compares this analysis.
