This book investigates the central metaphysics and epistemology of Advaita. Although the vastness of Advaita literature has grown to immense proportions, there has been a glaring lacuna in unraveling its philosophical, theological and religious implications. This volume undertakes a thematic search on the conception of Atman in an all-important Advaitic text, the Vivekacudamani , and other supportive texts of the same genre. Walter Menezes aims to revive Advaita as a sound philosophical system by driving away the cloud of negativity associated with it, thereby opening a new chapter in the history of Advaita philosophy.

Walter Menezes is a Post-Doctoral Fellow of Indian Council of Philosophical Research (New Delhi), at the Department of Philosophy, Goa University. He was awarded a Gold Medal for standing first in MA examinations at Goa University, and obtained his PhD in Indian Philosophy from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai.
