Book Review:
''One and Sang'' is a thoughtful and challenging philosophical inquiry from Sri Lankan scholar J. F. Samaranayake. Tackling the age-old problem of the One and the Many, the book brings a unique perspective, possibly informed by Buddhist thought (as suggested by the term ''Sang''). It is not light reading; it demands concentration and a genuine interest in abstract thinking. The value of this book lies in its attempt to bridge classical philosophical questions with a context-specific, perhaps Sri Lankan or Buddhist, viewpoint. Published by the iconic Gunasena press, it is a significant work for those interested in non-Western philosophy, comparative religion, and intellectual history from South Asia. A rewarding read for the patient and curious mind.
