Dear Dr Coelho,
I have been meaning to write to you for a while - mainly because I spend
considerable amounts of time immersed in your books on Richard De Smet,
so I wanted to thank you for them (and also partly because Brad
Malkovsky recommended that I made contact with you)!
I am getting towards the end of my doctoral thesis on the concept of
non-duality in Christian theology and Advaita Vedanta, which I have been
exploring for the last three and a bit years in Cambridge, under the
tutelage of Ankur Barua and Douglas Hedley. Specifically, I have been
focussing on the work of Sara Grant, which is why De Smet has been so
important, and her arguments for convergence between Samkara and
Aquinas.
If you would be interested (and have the time) to see any of what I have
written, I would be more than happy to share and would value any
comments you might have. If not, though, my thanks as a junior scholar
to you and the fruit of your work on De Smet, from which I have
benefitted greatly.
All best wishes,
Daniel
