Excursions in Indian Aesthetics

Zusatztext

Drawing insights from logic, metaphysics and an amazingly subtle linguistic tradition, ancient Indian thinkers have made profound discussions on a wide spectrum of aesthetic issues like the nature of beauty, expressive devices of art, the reading process, the aesthetic experience and music. This book explores aspects of this rich legacy in a lucid style. An attempt is made in the present work to probe into the deeper aesthetic dimensions in the thought of poeticians like Anandavardhana, Abhinavagupta and Mahimabhaa.
