Bhagwan
Shree Rajneesh (later known as Osho) often speculated on how great Western
thinkers such as Nietzsche might have developed if they had lived in an
Eastern intellectual and spiritual environment. This was part of the inspiration
for KWNS, which started as a PhD proposal put to SOAS (the School of Oriental
and African Studies in London) and to Heythrop (a Jesuit college). Although
the proposal led to some interesting debates, particularly with Professor
Piatagorsky at SOAS, I decided in the end just to write the book, and to
study a taught Masters in Mysticism and Religious Experience at the University
of Kent at Canterbury. |
