英国浪漫主义先驱者之一威廉·琼斯不竭余力地在向国内读者引介印度教。他对作为印度教哲学核心思想的吠檀多思想的把握,可以从其诗作里管窥一斑。此外,吠檀多思想对琼斯宗教融合主义和文化相对主义的形成产生了决定性的影响。 William Jones, one of the forerunners of British romanticism, spares no effort in introducing Hinduism to domestic readers. His grasp of Vedanta’s thought as the core philosophy of Hindu philosophy can be seen in his poetry. In addition, Vedanto’s thought had a decisive influence on the formation of Jones religious fusionism and cultural relativism.
