Dr. Krishnan V.H. explores the concept of consciousness from the perspectives of Indian and Western Philosophy comparing concepts of reality, world, universal, God, transcendent and immanent. He boldly puts forth that a discussion of metaphysics requires admitting consciousness or awareness as the only Reality. World is dependent on consciousness in its individuality and universality. The concept of God in philosophy is a subject of theology. In theology, belief or faith in God takes primary place above reason. Radical belief in a transcendent or immanent God has led to conflicts. Challenging the idea of divinity being transcendent, he puts forth that the pre-requisite of our existential state is the Immanent world and not its Transcendent status. We need to do an experiential synthesis of concepts than a conceptual synthesis. Teleological philosophies like Vedanta are based on non-differentiation of the Being and Thought, as both refer to consciousness. The author extends this argument to the concepts of immanent and transcendent. One has to pause discrimination and view them as a Singularity or One Unit and not a Unity. Thought provoking and profound insights are provided by Dr. Krishnan on the various concepts of metaphysics that will engross every reader.
