This volume brings together sixteen essays written by philosophers and social scientists on different aspects of Swami Vivekananda?s thoughts. Well researched and lucid in their style, the essays cover Swamiji?s views on religion, society, ethics, nature of man, creativity, language and art. They also seek to contextualise his ideas within the broader framework of Indian philosophical systems. The essays reflect Vivekananda?s emphasis on harmony between theoria and praxis. Since Swamiji saw no dichotomy between the sacred and the profane, his sources of philosophising did not lie merely in religion and religious doctrines, or rituals and modes of worship, but extended to fields as diverse as aesthetics, sociology, ethics, musicology, psychology, and science.
