“The Swâmi Abhedânanda’s writings are also companionable and readable.… The Philosophy of India, being the bringing together of the best thoughts and reasonings of the best men for the thousands of preceding years, had under consideration the self-same problems that are to-day vexing the souls of our philosophers. The Swâmi’s book is therefore not so radical a departure from accepted thought as might at first be imagined.… It is not meat for babes, but rather will it give new lines of thought to the brightest intellects.”—Transcript, Boston, Aug. 1903.
“His method of dealing with these fundamental questions is peculiarly free both from dogmatic assertion and from pure metaphysical speculation.”—Inter-Ocean, Chicago, Aug. 1903.
“He bases his arguments, not on theological hypotheses, but on scientific facts.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer, Aug. 1903.
“It is written in a plain and logical style, and cannot fail to interest all who are anxious for information concerning the philosophy of which the author is such an able exponent.”—Times Pittsburg, June, 1903.
“A glance over a few of its pages would be sufficient to convince the reader that he is in the presence of an intellect of high order, more thoroughly conversant with the philosophies and sciences of the Occidental world than most Europeans or Americans.… The “Divine Heritage of Man” gives a rare insight into the religious views of educated Hindoos and in its argumentation furnishes an intellectual treat.”—Chronicle, San Francisco, Aug. 1903.
“Fully cognizant of modern scientific discoveries, the author treats his subject broadly.”—Bookseller, Newsdealer, and Publisher, New York, Aug. 1903.
“The student of religions will find much of value in the discourses, since they are full of historical information concerning the origin and growth of certain ideas and beliefs dominant in Christianity.”—Republican, Denver, July, 1903.
“There is no disposition on the part of the author to assail any of the Christian principles, but he simply presents his subject with calmness, not attempting to reconcile religion and science, for to him they are one.”—Washington Post, June, 1903.
