Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Coomaraswamy dealt with grand ideas and eternal realities. He used many interesting examples of particular works of art, cultural practices or ideas of great thinkers, but these examples were always chosen in order to point out eternal truths that apply to all people in all times and places. Thus, for readers who are interested in the realities that underlie the nature of man and the universe, Coomaramswamy's words still resonate.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Ananda K Coomaraswamy grew up in late Victorian England and was there in the splendid pre-war days of the arts and crafts idealists, Blakean dreamers and flourishing literary movements. As a young man, Coomaraswamy was a pioneer and authority in the field of Indian art, a spokesman for Indian nationalism and a careful, but popular writer on Hinduism and Buddhism. During the First World War, he went to America and, as curator of Asiatic Art at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, built the first large collection of Indian art in America. In his later writings, which are represented in this collection, he turned his attention to metaphysics, tradition and sacred art. However, unlike many who write about traditional cultures, he was a radical and controversial critic of modern 'civilisation'. This volume, edited by his son, provides the reader with a comprehensive introduction to the work of this important 20th century philosopher and art historian. These selections of Coomaraswamy's vast body of writing offer the new reader a clear and definitive point of entry into the mind of this great and early spokesman for the Perennial Philosophy. Ananda K. Coomaraswamy was engaged in the world not only as a scholarly expositor of traditional culture and philosophy, but also as a radical critic of contemporary life.
