History of Indian Philosophy by Egon Bondy
REFLECTIONS ON THE BOOK
Abstract
Here is a review of the book “Indian Philosophy: Notes on the History of Philosophy. I (Prague, 2026)” by the renowned Czech writer, poet, philosopher and historian of philosophy Egon Bondy (born Zbyněk Fišer, 1930–2007). Particular attention is paid to the foreword and afterword, prepared by contemporary Czech historians of philosophy and the editors of the volume, Jiří Holba and Petr Kužel. The review also includes translations of two short excerpts from the book. One concerns the Buddhist thinker Āryadeva, the other Chaitanya, the founder of the Acintya-bhedābheda, a Vaiṣṇava school of Vedānta.
