Who is Krishnamurti and what is his philosophy?
Krishnamurti could best be described as one of the great religious thinkers and teachers. He was not a philosopher in the sense that he was not interested in creating an abstract system of thought which would explain the world, and by which one could live. On the contrary, he was concerned with the actual issues of living and relating. He examined and invited us to examine the process by which we build the ideas, beliefs and conclusions that we live by. He had no philosophy, but he pointed out that the human mind was conditioned by the past, and without freeing itself from conditioning, freedom was merely an idea.
