This paper examines the realist interpretation of Vedānta that Rasvihari Das explicated in two of his celebrated treatises, namely, “The Theory of Ignorance in Advaitism” and “The Falsity of the World.” Rasvihari Das, unlike many of his contemporary thinkers of India, took a contrary position against the uninformed generalization about Indian thought that the philosophical tradition of India was one of an unbroken idealism and spiritualism. Though Rasviahari Das was influenced by his senior peer-thinkers of India like Hiralal Haldar, B. N. Seal, and K. C. Bhattacharyya, Rasvihari Das had his own independent view on and interpretation of Vedānta. The paper argues that in the Vedāntic realism of Rasvihari Das there is no rejection of the world or the individuals. In the first part of the paper, I suggests the possible influence of Indian realism on Rasvihari Das. In the second part, I make an attempt to unearth and examine the interpretation of Rasvihari Das that unravels his Vedāntic realism. The third part is the concluding appraisal of Rasvihari Das who could take Vedānta forward from its religious moorings and place it resolutely on a philosophical candour.

拉斯维哈里·达斯的吠陀现实主义

本文探讨了拉斯维哈里·达斯(Rasvihari Das)在他的两篇著名论文《不二论中的无知理论》和《世界的虚假性》中阐述的对吠檀多的现实主义解释。与许多当代印度思想家不同,拉斯维哈里·达斯采取了相反的立场,反对对印度思想的无知概括,即印度的哲学传统是一种不间断的唯心主义和唯灵论。尽管拉斯维哈里·达斯受到了印度资深思想家希拉尔·哈达尔(Hiralal Haldar)、BN·西尔(BN Seal)和KC·巴塔查亚(KC Bhattacharyya)的影响,但拉斯维哈里·达斯对吠檀多有自己独立的看法和解释。该论文认为,在拉斯维哈里达斯的吠陀现实主义中,没有对世界或个人的拒绝。在论文的第一部分中,我提出了印度现实主义对拉斯维哈里·达斯的可能影响。在第二部分中,我试图挖掘并检验拉斯维哈里·达斯(Rasvihari Das)的解释,这揭示了他的吠檀多现实主义。第三部分是对拉斯维哈里·达斯(Rasvihari Das)的总结性评价,他可以将吠檀多从宗教的束缚中带出来,坚决地将其置于哲学的坦诚之上。
