Abstract
In Chapter 2, the author continues to set out the comparative and historical contexts required to understand Grant’s own arguments by offering an outline of the metaphysics of Advaita Vedānta and an overview of Thomist-Vedāntic encounters. In particular, the author examines the contributions of a number of key earlier figures in what became known as the ‘Calcutta School’ of Indology, toward which Grant was pointed by her academic mentor in India, Richard De Smet. These Thomist theologians argued, somewhat remarkably, that Advaitic vocabularies, allegories, and imageries can be reworked and resituated within Christian doctrinal universes to explicate the distinctive relation between the world and God in such a way as to move beyond both monism and dualism. By focusing on the conceptual affinities between Aquinas and Śaṁkara, Grant’s work builds on that of earlier scholars like Georges Dandoy, Pierre Johanns, and De Smet himself.
