I've read that Merrell-Wolff was most influenced by Kant and Shankara in his philosophy. I'm presently reading Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason". Does anybody...
Hi Ron.......whereas Merrell Wolff was familiarized with Shankara, and already attended to him as a Guru in the sense of one who guided and nurtured the ...

Btw, everybody, here's a new M-W site. Well its new to me! http://www.merrell-wolff.org/ I've added it to our Links and made it our "Related Link" on the ...
I read over at the Franklin Merrell-Wolff Fellowship that a biography of M-W is "forthcoming". Does anybody know anything about this and when it is due? Ron...

Hi, Ron, I receive the newsletter through the regular postal services. However, it is also available electronically ( and probably, preferably ). I have...
Charlie, Thanks for the info. I'll have to join up as soon as I can muster up some spare change. I'm presently waiting on Deussen's "System of the Vedanta" to...
Ron, I suppose that reading books that had an influence on Wolff is an interesting approach to understanding, but in my opinion, this will not lead to...
Charlie, I would recommend the version of Kant's Critique that I'm reading. It helps that it is an abridged version by the book's editor, Monroe C. Beardsley....
Thanks for the recommendation, Ron. The price is certainly right. I will list reading Kant among my innumerable 'things to do' mental notations. I follow my...
Charlie, I'm hip! My reading has been pretty eclectic lately as well. I'm reading Kant, picked up "Introduction to the Metaphysics of St. Thomas Aquinas (both...
It is interesting to note how the writings of Franklin Merrell-Wolff appeal to people with quite different interests. Some are taken with his philosophical...
I've been wading thru Kant's Critique and Deussen's System of the Vedanta, and I can see why these works made an impression on M-W. Kant reminds me quite a bit...
Ron, I know what you mean about East Indian religion. With all its convoluted history and contradiction, it is an amazingly resilient and tolerant faith. I...
Mindlink; If you believe in differences, then perhaps you can make a difference. Or, at least, it would appear so. But, for me, I cannot make a difference,...
Charlie, I think he meant in the sense that it does not involve sacrifice, as in the OT. Rather it would involve knowledge of the Gospel and acceptance of...
... I'm not a philosopher, Bob. I'm just "an ordinary, middle-class citizen of North America". And I'm not as good at describing ineffable experiences (or...
I'm still reading kant and Deussen's System of the Vedanta. Interestingly Deussen makes reference back to Kant. Surprisingly he seems to have little knowledge...

I'm with you, Ron. I'm just having difficulty responding. I quess I'm trying to size up this group. People have different ways of expressing themselves and ...
Charlie, I have read only a little in M-W's books. Every time I've started I've given up, feeling I was missing something. I think it was the fact that he...
I thought that the Metaphysical position and involvement of Franklin had been established as well........mayhap there has been a misunderstanding of the ...
Better yet Ron....I will let FMW speak for himself....tomorrow I will scan and forward what I consider relevant and cogent delineations from the master mentor....
Bob, That would be great! It might also motivate me to step up my reading so I can speak more knowledgeably in the discussion. Ron ... will scan ... the master...
