Beskrivning
With historical-critical analysis and dialogical even-handedness, the essays of this book re-assess the life and legacy of Swami Vivekananda, forged at a time of colonial suppression, from the vantage point of socially-engaged religion at a time of global dislocations and international inequities. Due to the complexity of Vivekananda as a historical figure on the cusp of late modernity with its vast transformations, few works offer a contemporary, multi-vocal, nuanced, academic examination of his liberative vision and legacy in the way that this volume does. It brings together North American, European, British, and Indian scholars associated with a broad array of humanistic disciplines towards critical-constructive, contextually-sensitive reflections on one of the most important thinkers and theologians of the modern era.

Recensioner i media

The book is a comprehensive multi-disciplinary, multi-layered analysis of Swami Vivekananda’s philosophical and religious ideas within South Asian historical and sociological background. His life, ideology and achievements have been viewed in terms of his continuity with past Vedanta traditions as well as his roots in contemporary colonial discourse of modernism. The book is a brilliant exposition of the contributions of Swami Vivekananda to philosophy, ethics and social justice—issues that are relevant to contemporary global society.
