Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Cosmology of the Rigveda: An Essay
Religion is the behaviour of man with respect to the natural forces and influences of the world which he regards as manifestations of superhuman will. The external form of religion is characterized by rites and ceremonies which are for the most part traditions from a forgotten past; the inner life is twofold, on the one hand emotional, enthusiastic, and passionate.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the surprisingly sophisticated philosophical and cosmological ideas found within the Rigveda. The Rigveda, a collection of over a thousand ancient hymns, is the oldest surviving Indo-European religious text. The author argues that the Rigveda, despite its religious nature, contains a complex system of speculative cosmology, comparable to those of the Presocratics, Plato, and later thinkers. The author examines ideas of causality, generation, and the nature of the divine within the text, teasing out connections between concepts that at first glance may seem disparate. The author's approach allows us to trace the earliest philosophical and speculative ideas in the Indo-European tradition and places this text within the broader context of early philosophical thought. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781333821647_0
