Synopsis

The philosophy of Hegel and Bhagavat Vedanta provide a correction to modern science which has charted a course that has diverted from reality inclusive of consciousness. Idols of the Mind vs. True Reality addresses our modern world’s conception regarding the nature of the universe (and beyond). Sir Francis Bacon first coined the term “Idols of the Mind” in reference to mental abstractions which people accept as the actual experienced reality. Throughout this book, B.M. Puri, Ph.D., discusses how the generally accepted mechanistic view of a strictly material reality is one such “idol”. With reference to the Bhagavat Vedanta philosophy and G.W.F. Hegel’s Conceptual Realism, readers are guided through a subjective evolution of consciousness which reveals a glimpse of the self-determining Absolute Reality of which we are all part and parcel.This book serves to promote the synthesis of science and religion. We trace the history of the development of ideas from Plato and Aristotle, through Francis Bacon, Galileo, and Descartes, into the modern thinking of Immanuel Kant and Hegel.

After diving deeper into the study of the philosophical relation between Bhagavat Vedanta and Hegel's Conceptual Realism, Dr. Puri returned to the United States in the 1990's.
