He created the basic foundations of Neo-Vedanta philosophy predominantly owing to the special phenomena of religious consciousness. The basic phenomena are primordial religious experience and the experience of contemplation and understanding of an Other religion (Islam and Christianity). Derivative phenomena are “monotheistic revolution” (term by G. Pomerants) and dialogue of religions in personal consciousness. Opening the resemblance of Vedanta and other religious traditions’ meanings to dialogue helped to achieve a new interpretation of the darśana. The novelty of Neo-Vedantism lies in the appearance of mighty ethical and social vectors of thinking. The combination of the aforesaid phenomena created the method of philosophising – free dialogue between one’s own tradition and another in order to enrich indigenous thought.}, doi = {10.4467/20844077SR.17.020.8461}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/studia-religiologica/artykul/phenomena-of-religious-consciousness-in-the-genesis-of-neo-vedantism-understanding-in-the-study-of-bengal-renaissance-philosophical-thought} }
