World-renowned philosopher of religion Raimon Panikkar sees wisdom as the art and knowledge of life and a source of happiness and joy--a dwelling place where people are blessed. In this book he discusses four major issues: an existential feminist approach to life and knowldge, a catholic and less fragmented anthropology, a recovery of the most ancient meaning of philosophy, and how to preserve one's own identity without being shallow, indifferent, or exclusive. He provides a distinctive practical resource for individuals wanting to experience wisdom.

In this important and timely book, philosopher and theologian Raimon Panikkar deals with the crucial issues of our time--war, religion, and ecology--as he redefines true peace and offers a way to achieve it in the world. Peace, he argues, requires more than nuclear, military, or economic disarmament. Peace can be obtained only by a cultural disarmament, which will require that absolution be abandoned for true reconciliation through ongoing intercultural dialogues.

History

World

Raimon Panikkar's contributions to comparative religions and Christian theology have made him a pioneer in East-West and interreligious dialogue. A gifted and original thinker, Panikkar here issues an invitation to a world spirituality, a human cosmic trust. Spirituality without responsibility is egoism or cowardice, he asserts. He shows how the intense personal and societal reassessment that comes from a serious encounter with world religious traditions radically challenges modern Western assumptions and illumines complex questions of action and contemplation, immanence and transcendence, pluralism and truth, and religious responsibility for the world.

Raimon Panikkar has lived on the boundaries between Euro-America and Asia; Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity; philosophy, science, and theology; mysticism and prophecy. For him, our old habits of mind have been dying for several generations, outmoded by the arrival of a new way of intuiting reality. Panikkar calls this intuition the cosmotheandric experience. This cosmotheandric experience enables us today to enter into the hermeneutic circles that for thousands of years have hindered persons of different faith traditions from truly understanding the central experience of "other" religious families. The term denotes an intertwining of the "cosmic," the "human," and the "divine" - all interpenetrating one another as different dimensions of the Whole.

This book distills Panikkar's lifetime of connecting the worlds of religion, philosophy, science, and revelation as together they shed light on the mystery of cosmic life.

The Rhythm of Being: The Gifford Lectures

One of the world s most important philosophers of religion reveals the unity of cosmic Mystery in this distillation of the wisdom of East and West, North and South. Originally delivered as the prestigious Gifford Lectures and published only months before his death in 2010, Raimon Panikkar s The Rhythm of Being was immediately acclaimed as a tour de force of profound insights gleaned from a lifetime of connecting the world of religions, philosophy, science, and revelation.

This first volume of Raimon Panikkar's Opera Omnia addresses "the most important theme" of his life and the "indispensable hermeneutical key" to his published writings: mysticism. He links it to the experience of life which each of us enjoys, calling it "a free and spontaneous attitude welling up from the person's fullness."

This English-language second part of the first volume of Raimon Panikkar’s Opera Omnia follows Part 1’s treatment of mysticism, “the supreme experience of reality,” with Panikkar’s insights into spirituality, “the path toward that supreme experience.” Panikkar defines spirituality broadly, warning against artificial bifurcations between body and spirit, inmanent and transcendent, and the world of humanity and the existence of the divine. In Spirituality, The Way of Life, Panikkar also reminds Christians they cannot forsake twenty-five centuries of tradition in their hunger for the spiritual insights of the East, but should instead strive for a return to tradition paired with a cross-fertilization among all human traditions to find a spirituality for our time.
