[10e] What philosophical genre of commentaries make up the latest layer of the Vedas?
ANSWER: Upanishads [prompt on Vedanta]
[10h] This Mukhya Upanishad, which overlaps with the Mantra Brahmana, is named for its emphasis on meter and language. Drawing on the Anquetil-Duperron translation, Schopenhauer repeated this Upanishad's precept "tat tvam asi" (“thuth thvum uh-see”) throughout The World as Will and Representation.
ANSWER: Chandogya Upanishad [or Khandogya Upanishad]
[10m] The Chandogya is a favorite of this school of Vedanta, whose members read "tat tvam asi" as equating atman and brahman. Adi Shankara championed this non-dualistic school.
ANSWER: Advaita Vedanta [reject “Dvaita Vedanta,” “Vishishtadvaita,” “Dvaitadvaita Vedanta,” or “Shuddhadvaita Vedanta”]
