| Summary: | Behandelter Zeitraum: 6. Jh. v. Chr. - 1900 The paper is an enquiry into the relationship between the rational and antirational from an Indian perspective. The author's thesis is that Indian liberation philosophies and religous together with their Western counterparts are beset by an anti-rationalism; and that this anti-rationalism is readily seen in the Indian and Western attitudes towards one of man's most rational activities, viz., renunciation.
