Publisher's Synopsis
""The Religious Basis of the Forms of Indian Society; Indian Culture and English Influence; and East and West"" is a collection of essays by Ananda K. Coomaraswamy, a renowned philosopher and historian of Indian art. The book explores the religious and cultural foundations of Indian society, and the impact of English colonialism on Indian culture. Coomaraswamy argues that Indian society is based on a deep spiritual and religious tradition, and that this tradition has been eroded by Western influence. He also examines the differences between Eastern and Western approaches to spirituality, and the challenges of reconciling these two perspectives. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Indian culture, religion, and history, as well as the broader issues of cultural identity and globalization.An Address To The Student's Religious Association, Ann Arbor, January 1946.
