The "Heraclitus" by Sri Aurobindo is a comparative study of Greece and India that greatly differs from conventional scholarly studies.
Absolutely familiar with both Western and Eastern philosophy, Sri Aurobindo works more with the inherent ideas in the text rather than the text itself.
He uses the sayings of the great "dark" philosopher as stepping stones for examining various universal ideas and explores how these ideas are approached by Eastern and Western philosophy.
His point of reference remains always spiritual, and he observes and writes as an Indian yogi, not as an academic intellectual.
He finds the correspondences and discovers the similarities between the two cultural heritages, highlights their differences, and describes Greek philosophy seen under the Light of Indian spirituality.
