Description

Two titles to exercise your mind:


Roy Craven: Indian Art


This engaging book tells the story clearly and vividly from the first, still mysterious, beginnings in the Indus valley, through the great masterpieces of Buddhist and Hindu art to the coming of Islam, the eclectic culture of the Mughal court, and the golden age of miniature painting. Much of Indian art is immediately accessible to the outsider, but much is also enigmatic, needing interpretation and guidance before it can be enjoyed in depth: the strange pantheon of the Hindu gods, the subtle insights of Buddhist mysticism, or the complex symbolism of the miniatures. For this edition, the late Professor Craven thoroughly revised the text and incorporated works by contemporary artists, linking their achievements to the traditions of Indian art. A new glossary and time line are also included.


John Dunne: Foundations of Dharmakirti's Philosophy


Dharmakirti is a central figure in the history of Buddhist philosophy. John Dunne's extraordinary work of scholarship illuminates the body of Dharmakirti's work, work that has profoundly influenced Mahayana Buddhism and South Asian philosophy as a whole.
