"The present book contains the philosophy of organism associated with the teachings of Prof. A.N.

In part I the author deals with sage philosopher\'s concept such as actual entities, eternal objects, perception, feeling and God in easy language. Part II sets forth the comparative studies with full use of important sources. The author bases his conclusion in a judicious spirit.

It also explains his approach to philosophy of religions, glossary and Whitehead\'s philosophical method.

The book will deserve a place in the shelf of anybody who takes interest in comparative philosophy. Even one who takes dissent from the author\'s findings may have to know more about the philosophy of organism." (jacket)
