In this introduction, Arvind-Pal Singh Mandair, an internationally acknowledged expert in Sikh studies, provides the first rigorous engagement in the West with Sikh philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSensitive both to the historical formation of Sikh thought, and to the decolonial context in which he writes, Mandair examines some of the key concepts of Sikh philosophy and how they inform its vision of life. He asks what Sikh philosophical concepts tell us about the nature of reality, the relationship between mind\/self\/ego, and whether it is possible to discern broad contours of a Sikh logic, epistemology, and ontology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the book looks at how these concepts address broader themes such as the body, health and well-being, creation and cosmology, death and rebirth, the nature of action and intention, bioethics and, a theme that undergirds every chapter, spirituality. Each chapter concludes with a set of bullet points highlighting the key concepts discussed, a set of questions for further discussion, and teaching points to aid discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough this much-needed introduction, we understand the place of Sikh Philosophy within modern Sikh studies and why the philosophical quest became marginalized in contemporary Sikh studies. Most importantly, we recognise the importance of looking beyond the well-trodden terrain of Hindu and Buddhist thinkers and involving Sikh philosophical thought in the emergent field of world philosophies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000742396140,"sku":"9781350202252","price":45.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/19934803482668.jpg?v=1763301654"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/dr-arvind-pal-singh-mandair.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
