Customer Reviews

A stimulating book; a great resourcebook!

Antonio de Nicolas has, through his various books, shown how philosophy should be read and lived. This particular book demonstrates that the we interpret texts depends on the habits of our minds. There is a connection between biology and understanding. This book offers many layers of meaning. It should be read along with Nicolas's books on the Rg Veda and the Bhagavad Gita. An illuminating book!
