About the Author
Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, OM, FBA (Telugu: ; September 1888 17 April 1975) was an Indian philosopher and statesman. He was the first Vice-President of India (1952 1962), and also went on to be the second President of India (1962 1967). One of India's most influential scholars of comparative religion and philosophy, Radhakrishnan is considered through his efforts to have built a bridge between East and West by having shown that the philosophical systems of each tradition is comprehensible within the terms of the other. He wrote authoritative exegeses of India's religious and philosophical literature for the English speaking world. His academic appointments included the King George V Chair of Mental and Moral Science at the University of Calcutta (1921-?) and Spalding Professor of Eastern Religions and Ethics at Oxford University (1936 1952). Among the many honours he received were a knighthood (1931) and the Bharat Ratna (1954). His birthday is celebrated in India as Teacher's Day on 5 September.
