Guest guest Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Response on the Use of " Monism instead of Non-Dualism " by Swami Vivekananda. ~~~~~~~~~~~~Reply from Atlanta Centre ~~~~~~~~ I think that in the intellectual circles Swamiji met with in the eastern United States--academicians like Wm. James, Josiah Royce et al. " monism " was the buzz-word. It was in contrast to pluralism, which was just then becoming current. Isn't it likely that Swamiji wanted to use the words these people would understand best? The subtle but important distinction between " Monism and Non-dualism was perfectly well known to him and could never have been far from his mind.
