Autor/-in: S.N. Dasgupta

Surendranath Dasgupta (1887-1952), often cited as S. N. DasGupta, was an Indian scholar of Sanskrit, philosophy, religion, and comparative thought. He is best known for his monumental multi-volume A History of Indian Philosophy, one of the major English-language scholarly treatments of Indian philosophical traditions. His work helped introduce Vedanta, Yoga, Buddhist philosophy, Hindu religious thought, and Indian metaphysics to a wider international readership. DasGupta wrote with unusual range, combining textual learning with philosophical clarity and comparative perspective. His studies of Hindu mysticism, Indian idealism, yoga, and religious experience remain important for readers of Eastern philosophy, Hinduism, Vedanta, comparative religion, and the intellectual history of India.
