Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 One of my favorite introductions to philosophy is C.E.M. Joad's Guide to Philosophy, available cheaply from Dover Books. You can read a bit about Joad here: http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/Jjoad.htm He was a clear-minded and witty skeptic who had little patience for spiritual topics, until he got cancer. A moving story about him and the 'mystic' Gurdjieff is contained within this article by Osho: http://www.otoons.com/osho/askosho59.htm The connection to Advaita is that the state of 'witness' transcends the mind and intuits the truth directly.
