This collection of scholarly essays seeks to interpret and elucidate several aspects of Sri Aurobindo's socio-political philosophy, particularly in regard to nationalism, the ideal of human relations, the concept of a stateless society, and an achievable human unity. Other subjects include the relationship between yoga and knowledge – scientific knowledge versus the inner knowledge by identity of consciousness – and Sri Aurobindo's philosophy of education, specifically within the context of some debates about the aim of education. The unifying thread in these studies is the integral nature of Sri Aurobindo's thought and his emphasis on the evolution of consciousness as central to understanding man's quest for freedom and unity.
