Description
Andrew D. Thrasher argues that Raimon Panikkar can be a stimulating voice to postmodern philosophical theology. This book offers unique contributions to both Panikkarean scholarship and philosophical theology by introducing into the equation how an Indian postmodern philosophical theologian interprets and transforms issues of modernity.
In a veritable scholarly tour de force Andrew Thrasher brings Raimon Panikkar's cosmotheandric and advaitic thought into dialogue with Heidegger, Desmond, postmodernity, and Charles Taylor. With this book, Thrasher not only introduces Panikkar's rich but challenging philosophy and theology to a wider readership, which is already a herculean task in itself, but also argues that the Spanish-Indian thinker can best be understood in the company of some of the major thinkers of our time. The book promises to be a landmark in Panikkarian scholarship.
This work investigates the philosophical theology of inter-religious and inter-cultural scholar, Raimon Panikkar. The author brings Panikkar into critical engagement with a broad array of modern western scholars such as Martin Heidegger, Charles Taylor, William Desmond and John Milbank. This results in the articulation of new ways of thinking about God, secularity and modernity from an advaitic, non-dual or Indic perspective.
