Beatrice Bruteau

Beatrice Bruteau is a United States philosopher and author best known for her work in spiritual evolution.

With a background in Vedanta, Catholicism, and the natural sciences, Bruteau has advanced a “global spirituality” in which social inequities are examined through a metaphysical lens with the intent of creating mutual respect within communities.

Dr. Bruteau’s philosophy might be characterized as nondualist, though she has said that it is a “complex non-dualism” rather than monism. Rather than feeling the self engulfed into the whole of the universe, the goal of the spiritual search is recognize that spiritual evolution is unending.
