Produktbeschreibung

U. G. Krishnamurti's 'The Collected Works' offers a compelling assemblage of texts that delve into the philosophical and existential inquiries about human consciousness and the nature of enlightenment. Within this comprehensive anthology lies a mosaic of dialogues, reflections, and declamations that challenge the structural underpinnings of traditional thought. Krishnamurti's literary style is piercingly austere and driven by a relentless questioning of established norms, situating him in a unique position within the context of 20th-century philosophical discourse and transcending conventional spiritual teachings through what he refers to as 'the natural state.' Krishnamurti, often mistaken for the celebrated Jiddu Krishnamurti with whom he shared a common heritage and interest in spiritual inquiry, diverges notably in his radical approach. Motivated by his own profound experiences that led him to repudiate the very foundation of received spiritual wisdom, his writing dismisses the search for enlightenment as a fruitless pursuit. Rejecting the constructs of organized religion and philosophy, this collection embodies his life's work echoing the essence of his core insight: that the mind's search for a separate state of enlightenment is a myth. Consequently, 'The Collected Works' fiercely resonates with those yearning for stark honesty in their spiritual quest. Unequivocally rejecting the commodification of spirituality, Krishnamurti's insights are a breath of fresh air for skeptics and seekers alike-those unafraid to confront the futility of chasing metaphysical shadows. This book is not merely to be read; it is to be confronted, engaged with, and reflected upon by anyone with a deep interest in the radical transformation of consciousness itself.

Autorenporträt

U.G. Krishnamurti, not to be confused with the well-known spiritual leader Jiddu Krishnamurti, was a renowned philosopher and speaker, often described as an 'anti-guru' due to his unconventional views on enlightenment and the search for meaning. Born on July 9, 1918, in Machilipatnam, India, and passing away on March 22, 2007, in Vallecrosia, Italy, U.G. challenged the very foundation of traditional thought and religious conventions. His philosophical discourse was not rooted in any established doctrine or system, making him a unique voice in the discourse on consciousness and the human condition. His seminal work, 'The Collected Works,' is an amalgamation of his thoughts, dialogues, and teachings. It distills his critical standpoint that the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment is often a futile endeavor, as it reinforces the very illusion of the 'self' which seekers aim to transcend. With his penetrating insight into human psychology, U.G. Krishnamurti's literary style is characterized by a blunt and direct approach that can be both unsettling and liberating. His works continue to intrigue and inspire those who question the narratives of traditional spirituality and seek to understand the mind beyond the constructs of culture and ego.
