Based on the copious notes of Indologist, linguist, and art historian Heinrich Zimmer, and edited by Joseph Campbell, this book is organized into three sections. \"The Highest Good\" looks at Eastern and Western thought and their convergence; \"The Philosophies of Time\" discusses the philosophies of success, pleasure, and duty; and \"The Philosophies of Eternity\" presents the fundamental concepts of Buddhism, Brahmanism, Jainism, Sankhya and yoga, and Tantra. This work examines such areas as the Buddhist Tantras, Buddhist Genesis, the Tantric presentation of divinity, the preparation of disciples and the meaning of initiation, and the symbolism of the mandala-palace Tantric ritual and twilight language. It also delves into the Tantric teachings of the inner Zodiac and the fivefold ritual symbolism of passion. Appendices, a bibliography, and general and Sanskrit indexes are included.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeinrich Zimmer\u003c\/b\u003e (1890-1943) was an Indologist, linguist, and historian of South Asian art. \u003cb\u003eJoseph Campbell\u003c\/b\u003e (1904-1987) was the author of many books on comparative mythology, including \u003ci\u003eThe Hero with a Thousand Faces\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Masks of God\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 720\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.1 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 25, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769608405280,"sku":"9780691202792","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/4a5f5e343d651a09da55eda3fcb8dbbc.webp?v=1780351845","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/philosophies-of-india-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
