In this excellent reprint of a rare volume of essays, he reveals the essence of the Indian experience, rooted in 'a constant intuition' of the unity and harmony of all life. Everything has its place, every being its function and all play a part in the divine concert led by Nataraja (Siva), Lord of Dancers. In a series of 14 stimulating and provocative essays, Coomaraswamy unfolds the vast metaphysic of India: the magnificent revelation of its art; its conception of the universe; social organization; attitudes toward feminism; problems of family; romantic love, and marriage. His sweeping commentary considers the 'intellectual fraternity' of mankind; the venerable past as it survives side by side with emerging modern India; and the individual, autonomy, and repudiation of 'the will to govern.' Enhancing the text are 27 black-and-white photographs - mostly of masterpieces of painting and sculpture from the second century B.C. to the eighteenth century, and including the glorious 'Cosmic Dance of N taraja.' This handsome volume offers rich insight into the art, philosophy, and culture of a fascinating forty-centuries-old civilization." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: What has India contributed to human welfare?; Hindu view of art: historical; Hindu view of art: theory of beauty; That beauty is a state; Buddhist primitives; The dance of Shiva; Indian images with many arms; Indian music; Status of Indian women; Sahaja; Intellectual fraternity; Cosmopolitan view of Nietzsche; Young India; Individuality, autonomy and function.
