Coomaraswamy (1877-1947) was a pioneer in the study of Indian art, philosophy, and mythology--and in the cultural meeting of East and West. A scholar in the tradition of the great Indian grammarians and philosophers, an art historian convinced that the ultimate value of art transcends history, and a social thinker influenced by William Morris, Coomaraswamy was a unique figure whose works provide virtually a complete education in themselves. Finding a universal tradition in past cultures ranging from the Hellenic and Christian to the Indian, Islamic, and Chinese, he presented his ideas in numerous essays. This volume includes a selection of his essays on art and symbolism that were written in the 1930s and 1940s, when he was at the height of his powers.","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47569384407191,"sku":"9780691277493","price":8826.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780691277493.webp?v=1774875061","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/selected-papers-of-coomaraswamy-volume-1-traditional-art-and-symbolism-9780691277493","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
