This is a wide ranging study showing that 'spirituality' covers diverse types of phenomena that proliferate from culture to culture.  The term is not confined to religious studies but manifests in art and literature, with many roots and branches, not all leading in the same direction.

Chatterjee discusses the Upanishads and Sri Aurobindo as well as Kandinsky and Broch, Simone Weil, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Elie Wiesel, relating the spiritual to the natural world and to affliction and the world of men.

She has incorporated her Teape Lectures at Cambridge University in 1984 in a diagnosis of our times, finding that the real trial of the spirit is not in the crucible of scepticism but in the abyss of human suffering.  She finds hope in the groping towards new forms of togetherness, which is revealed by the contemporary interest in concepts of spirituality.
