if your leader doesn't have battle scars, he's a bitch.

- Plotinus (pbuh)

Shankara’s position is more logically and metaphysically coherent than that of Plotinus because it eliminates the asymptotic gap that haunts Plotinian emanationism. In Plotinus, the finite never quite reaches the One, and the One never fully arrives in the finite, relation is maintained only by metaphor (overflow, procession, return), not by strict intelligibility. Shankara’s non-dualism, by contrast, allows for a fully immanent absolute without collapse into pantheistic confusion, because dependence runs one way only: appearances borrow apparent being without fragmenting the source. This makes error, ignorance, and liberation intelligible without positing ontological secondaries that must somehow be both real enough to function and unreal enough not to compromise unity. The result is a metaphysics that is simultaneously simpler, stronger, and more parsimonious: fewer primitives, fewer unexplained transitions, and no need for a metaphysical middle-management to reconcile infinitude with the finite.

Back when Indians weren't that well-known in the west people would just project whatever they wanted onto them. They thought India was basically a fantasy setting where snake charmers and belly dancers rode elephants to the Taj Mahal all day, of course they found it more romantic then their boring day to day lives of automobiles and factories.

Isn’t much of all Greco-Egyptian metaphysics down wind of the indo Europeans?

Nobody actually knows, so it's better to disregard lineages and pedigrees as bases for your philosophy.
Once you do that, Kantian Idealism is shown to BTFO all other systems.

Same mind set as race mixing.

No one cared about "metaphysics" as mentioned ITT among proto-Indo-European. They were illiterates, and what remained of them after their splitting, mixing with various non-indoeuro, and their various ethnogenesis into historical peoples was, beyond grammatical rules, a few structures of mythology.

I like this argument however I do ask about the nature of Ignorance. It is not of Brahman, is not a 2nd ontological principle but rather epistemic and yet i wonder how does illusion 'arise' in non-dual consciousness?

If the world is dependent appearance, what grounds logical distinctions and why trust the reasoning that establishes non duality?
I am interested in your thoughts.

Also the distinction between man and animal? There are differences but what kind of difference is there?

Reason is like a boat. It carries you to the other side but you can’t take it with you

>>25117111
Sounds like a real difference of substances...

>>25117111
Is reason primarily sufficient then?
And what of animals and plant life? There is some differentiation, but im asking of what kind?
I am genuinely curious. I do wish to read Shankara
