Keywords:
A study of comparative metaphysics that explores the concepts of Reality and Appearance and their relevance to contemporary religious consciousness.

In this pioneering work of comparative metaphysics, Patrick Laude delves into Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Islamic, and Jewish concepts of Reality and Appearance to offer a uniquely lucid exploration of metaphysical representations of reality, relativity, appearance, and illusion. Laude includes discussions of the Absolute and the Relative in Hindu Advaita Vednta, Kashmiri aivism, Sufi wahdat al-wujd, and Madhyamaka Buddhism; the metaphysics of salvation in Buddhist and Christian traditions; and the metaphysics of evil and the distinction between Reality and Appearance in the Jewish Kabbalah, aivism, Christian mysticism, and the Sufi school of Ibn al-'Arab. The book explores how a discerning and subtle apprehension of the relationship between Reality and Appearance may help contemporary readers and seekers respond to the acute predicaments of contemporary religious and spiritual consciousness.

Recenzijas

"This book is a pioneering exposition on comparative metaphysics, demonstrating exceptional breadth and depth. While certainly not intended for the casual reader, it will no doubt reward serious seekers who hunger for a more profound perspective on religion and its inner dimensions." Sacred Web

"I have rarely read a work that is so lucid in explaining complex philosophical theories across multiple traditions, so articulate in constructing concise ideas, and so strategic in assembling a framework for analysis. This is a unique and special work of comparative metaphysics rarely found in contemporary works on philosophies of religion." Lee Irwin, author of Alchemy of Soul: The Art of Spiritual Transformation
