Insight and Religious Mind (American University Studies. Series VII. Theology and Religion)

Krishnamurti (1895-1986) is internationally regarded as one of the eminent religious figures of our time. This book presents a lucid analysis of his metaphysics. It highlights the pivotal role of 'insight' as the transformative event which separates 'conditioned' and 'religious' mind. The book also provides an overview of Krishnamurti's remarkable life and teachings. Current criticisms of these teachings are examined in the light of the analysis. Comparisons are made with other religious philosophies, notably Buddhism.
