Part 10 Conclusion
This is an excellent book and a fine example of comparative philosophy at its best. It is delightful to see someone reading Hans Gadamer and Rupa Gosvami together with such fruitful insights. This is the most sophisticated treatment of Rupa Gosvami's metaphysics that I have ever read. By grappling deeply with the philosophies of both these major thinkers, Frazier has done a great job of offering us new ways of considering the relationship between ultimate reality and human desire.
