Sri Aurobindo's Concept of the Superman

Abstract

<p>The subject matter of this thesis is the concept of Superman as developed by Sri Aurobindo, a great thinker of modern India. This concept is found to be the result of an extension of the scope of ancient Vedanta in an effort to answer existential questions of the modern era, like, the destiny of man and society, as well as to accommodate with the findings of modern science. The work is primarily an analysts of the writings and practical efforts of Sri Aurobindo, and secondarily a consideration of Indian and European thoughts as related to his philosophy.</p>
