Learning from Sri Ramanuja | Prof. Francis X. Clooney

Professor Francis Xavier Clooney (Parkman Professor of Divinity at the Harvard Divinity School) gives a discourse on the teachings of Sri Ramanuja who was the chief proponent of the Vishishtadvaita school of Vedanta.

Father Clooney joined the Harvard Divinity School faculty in 2005. After earning his doctorate in South Asian languages and civilizations (University of Chicago, 1984), he taught at Boston College for 21 years before coming to Harvard.

His primary areas of Indological scholarship are theological commentarial writings in the Sanskrit and Tamil traditions of Hindu India. He is also a leading figure globally in the developing field of comparative theology, a discipline distinguished by attentiveness to the dynamics of theological learning deepened through the study of traditions other than one’s own. He has also written on the Jesuit missionary tradition, particularly in India, on the early Jesuit pan-Asian discourse on reincarnation, and on the dynamics of dialogue and interreligious learning in the contemporary world.
