Abstract
Following a brief account of the main events in the life of Rāmānuja according to traditional hagiographical works, the article examines the fundamental exegetical, epistemological, ontological and soteriological positions of this medieval thinker. These views are contrasted mainly with those of the greatly influential Śaṅkara some centuries earlier, particularly with respect to the conflict between active and contemplative life.
