Avatāra: the humanization of philosophy through the Bhagavad Gītā: a philosophical journey through Greek philosophy, contemporary philosophy, the Bhagavad Gītā on Ortega y Gasset's intercultural theme, Man and circumstance: including a new translation wit

Professor de Nicolas presents the reader with actualized possibilities of knowing other cultures as they knew themselves. In his work, philosophy becomes an ongoing synthesis of knowledge and sensation. This new translation of The Bhagavad Gita, with its easy and beautiful reading, is a major philosophical attempt to read a most important text of a culture in it's own context.
