During his lifetime Krishnamurti would often ask people who worked with him, "How will you convey the perfume of the teachings when K has gone?"... One of the values of The Beauty of the Mountain is its simple conveyance of that perfume or flavour. It is an unpretentious account... by turns touching and humorous, and the author manages, despite his deep appreciation of Krishnamurti's rare qualities, to avoid the excess of hero-worship or cult creation. Edition 2004, 75 pages, paperback. |

On Krishnamurti, like other titles in the Wadsworth Philosopher's Series, offers a concise, yet comprehensive, introduction to Krishnamurti's most important ideas. Presenting the most important insights of well over a hundred seminal philosophers in both the Eastern and Western traditions, the Wadsworth Philosophers Series contains volumes written by scholars noted for their excellence in teaching and for their well-versed comprehension of each featured philosopher's major works and contributions. These titles have proven valuable in a number of ways. Serving as standalone texts when tackling a philosophers' original sources or as helpful resources for focusing philosophy students' engagements with these philosopher's often conceptually daunting works, these titles have also gained extraordinary popularity with a lay readership and quite often serve as "refreshers" for philosophy instructors.
