The late Ananda K. Coomaraswamy, curator of Indian art at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, uniquely combined art historian, philosopher, orientalist, linguist, and expositor in his person. His knowledge of the arts and handcrafts of the Orient was unexcelled and his numerous monographs on Oriental art either established or revolutionized entire fields. He was also a great Orientalist, with an almost unmatched understanding of traditional culture. He covered the philosophic and religious experience of the entire premodern world, east and west, and for him primitive, medieval European, and classical Indian experiences of truth and art were only different dialects in a common language. Finally, Coomaraswamy was a provocative writer, whose erudition was expressed in a delightful, aphoristic style. The nine essays in this book are among his most stimulating. They discuss such matters as the true function of aesthetics in art, the importance of symbolism, and the importance of intellectual and philosophical background to the artist; they analyze the role of traditional culture in enriching art; they demonstrate that abstract art and primitive art, despite superficial resemblances, are completely divergent; and they deal with the common philosophy which pervades all great art, the nature of medieval art, folklore and modern art, the beauty inherent in mathematics, and the union of traditional symbolism and individual portraiture in premodern cultures.

The contentment of innumerable people can be destroyed in a generation by the withering touch of our civilization; the local market is flooded by a production in quantity with which the responsible maker of art cannot complete; the vocational structure of society, with all its guild organization and standards of workmanship, is undermined; the artist is robbed of his art and forced to find himself a job; until finally the ancient society is industrialised and reduced to the level of such societies as ours in which business takes precedence of life. Can one wonder that Western nations are feared and hated by other people, not alone for obvious political or economic reasons, but even more profoundly and instinctively for spiritual reasons? So writes Ananda K. Coomaraswamy historian of traditional metaphysics and art, and social critic in Christian and Oriental Philosophy of Art. The nine essays in this book are among Coomaraswamy s most accessible and rewarding. They address such subjects as the true function of aesthetics in art, the importance of symbolism, and the importance to artists of the intellectual and philosophical backgrounds of their culture. They demonstrate also that abstract and primitive art, despite superficial resemblances, are completely divergent; and they deal with the common philosophy that pervades all great art, the nature of medieval art, folklore, and modern art, the beauty inherent in mathematics, and the union of traditional symbolism and individual portraiture in premodern cultures. The late A. K. Coomaraswamy, curator of Indian art at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, uniquely combined the roles of art historian, philosopher, orientalist, linguist, and expositor. His knowledge of the arts and handcrafts of the Orient was unsurpassed, and his numerous monographs on Oriental art either established, or revolutionized, entire fields. Coomaraswamy was one of the foremost Orientalists of his time, with an almost unmatched understanding of traditional culture. He mastered the philosophic and religious terrain of the entire premodern world, East and West; and for him primitive, medieval European, and classical Indian experiences of truth and art were only different dialects of a common language."

From The Beginning Of History, Religion And Philosophy Has Been Admittedly The Most Vital Force In Shaping The Civilization At Various Developmental Stages. Although Many Scholars Have Worked On The History Of Oriental Religio-Philosophical Tradition, But No Such Complete And Comprehensive Work On This Subject Is Available To Us. Keeping This In Mind, We Are Decided To Publish A Comprehensive Multi-Volume Encyclopaedia Of Oriental Philosophy And Religion In Four Phases Successively In Every Year. The Concentration Will Be Given On Hinduism, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, Buddhism, Shintoism, Taoism, Confucianism, Islam, Sikhism And On Other Minor Oriental Religio-Philosophical Tradition. In The First Phase Of This Project, We Have Released 5 Volumes Hinduism (3 Vols.) And Judaism (2 Vols.). Here, We Have Drawn 320 Entries From Hindu Religio-Philosophical Tradition And 178 Entries From Jewish Religio-Philosophical Tradition Which Reflects Its Own Diversity And Puts Them Together Into A Cogent And Harmonious Picture.In The Second Phase We Are Going To Release 5 Volumes On Zoroastrianism, Jainism And Buddhism In 2006.Similarly In Third Phase 5 More Volumes Will Be Added On Shintoism, Taoism, Confucianism And Other South-East And East Asian Religio-Philosophical Concepts. In Last Phase 5 More Volumes Will Be Added On Islam, Sikhism And Other Minor Oriental Religion And Philosophy.The Task Which We Have Performed Here Is, No Doubt, Beset With Difficulties But We Shall Consider Our Labour Amply Rewarded If This Monumental Work Is Found Useful By Scholars And Readers.
