A propos de l’auteur
Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti, known more commonly as U. G. Krishnamurti or just U.G., was a philosopher who questioned the very value of knowledge and spiritual searches. Born on July 9, 1918, in Masulipatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India, and not related to his more famous contemporary Jiddu Krishnamurti, U.G. carved a niche for himself among thinkers who challenged the status quo. U.G. often referred to as the ‘anti-guru’, spent his life undermining traditional concepts of enlightenment and spirituality, leading many to view him as a critic of the sacred cows of organized religion and mystical thought. His outspoken views on consciousness and the human condition distinguish him in the pantheon of Indian philosophilcal voices. His book ‘No Way Out’ distills many of his core ideas, suggesting that the search for spiritual enlightenment is a futile endeavor. U.G. argued that there is no real escape from reality; instead, he advocated for an acceptance of the world as it is, without the constant pursuit of transformation. This refusal to offer a structured philosophy or method for personal transformation made him an intriguing figure in 20th-century philosophy. U.G. Krishnamurti passed away on March 22, 2007, leaving behind a legacy of provocative thought encapsulated in his lectures, talks, and published works that continue to be examined and discussed by those interested in radical philosophical inquiry.
