"The life of Ananda Coomaraswamy was given to interpreting the East to the West, and often the West itself. Throughout these beautifully written, integrated essays he puts forward the Indian way of life as expressed in art and religion, to serve as a lesson to Western peoples who have been caught up in a search for happiness solely through material accumulation. Reminding us of the resources in our own traadition, he suggests that the vigor of European action must be united with the serenity of Asiatic thought if civilization is not to destroy itself. Coomaraswamy's message is particularly appropriate now when many in the West feel that our culture has reached a dead end, and are casting about for a new ideal that can replace that of Faustian mam."--Back cover
Excerpt from The Dance of Siva: Fourteen Indian Essays There is a fundamental difference between the Brahman and the modern view of politics. The modern politician considers that idealism in politics is unpractical; time enough, he thinks, to deal with social misfortunes when they arise. The same out look may be recognized in the fact that modern medicine lays greater stress on cure than on prevention, i. E., endeavours to protect against unnatural conditions rather than to change the social environment. The Western sociologist is apt to say: The teachings of religion and philosophy may or may not be true, but in any case they have no significance for the practical reformer. The Brahmans, on the contrary, considered all activity not directed in accordance with a consistent theory of the meaning and purpose of life as supremely unpractical.
