He was the most articulate figure in a group of Belgian Jesuits in Calcutta who sought to develop the theological project initiated by Brahmabandhab Upadhyay, a convert to Catholicism whose theology conveyed a positive appreciation of aspects of Hindu \u003ci\u003eadvaitic\u003c\/i\u003e philosophy. Johanns began to publish a steady stream of articles in the monthly \u003ci\u003eLight of the East\u003c\/i\u003e that analysed pertinent features of \u003ci\u003eVedantic\u003c\/i\u003e thought from the perspective of his neo-Thomistic presuppositions. Johanns engaged in a thorough explication and analysis of the thinking of the Hindu teachers Sankara, Ramanuja, and Vallabha. He attempted to fashion a creative synthesis of their views, constructing a new, holistic metaphysic from the raw material of their respective philosophical theologies.\u003cbr\u003e This book examines the theological writings of Pierre Johanns by situating him within his historical context, by discussing how Johanns interacted with \u003ci\u003eVedantic\u003c\/i\u003e philosophy, and by assessing the success of his project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Author: Sean M.
