Excursions in Indian Aesthetics.

      Аннотация: 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 ?nandavardhana, Abhinavagupta and Mahimabha??a.
