An Advaitic Modernity? Raimon Panikkar and Philosophical Theology
Ebook
An Advaitic Modernity?: Raimon Panikkar and Philosophical Theology poses Raimon Panikkar as a stimulating dialogue partner in postmodern philosophical theology who can help us rethink the relationship between transcendence and immanence through an advaitic critique of modernity. Andrew D. Thrasher argues that Panikkar advaitic critique of modernity may transform several discourses, such as how Panikkar’s cosmotheandric metaphysics may reshape a theology of religion and offer a religious interpretation of a relational ontology that builds on the Heideggerian ontological tradition and how Panikkar’s metaphysics solves problems in Heidegger’s ontology.

Conclusion: An Advaitic Modernity?
In a veritable scholarly tour de force Andrew Thrasher brings Raimon Panikkar's cosmotheandric and advaitic thought into dialogue with Heidegger, Desmond, postmodernity, and Charles Taylor. With this book, Thrasher not only introduces Panikkar's rich but challenging philosophy and theology to a wider readership, which is already a herculean task in itself, but also argues that the Spanish-Indian thinker can best be understood in the company of some of the major thinkers of our time. The book promises to be a landmark in Panikkarian scholarship.
This work investigates the philosophical theology of inter-religious and inter-cultural scholar, Raimon Panikkar. The author brings Panikkar into critical engagement with a broad array of modern western scholars such as Martin Heidegger, Charles Taylor, William Desmond and John Milbank. This results in the articulation of new ways of thinking about God, secularity and modernity from an advaitic, non-dual or Indic perspective.
