Abstract

Indian Criticism

November 9, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the book "The Dance of Siva," by Ananda Coomaraswamy. It deals with remarkable variety of topics, and each essay has a richness of thought that makes claim for a lengthy consideration. There is no rigid body of doctrine, however. If nothing is insisted upon it is the multitudinousness of existence: Becoming as opposed to Being. It is in art rather than in any system of thought that a rendering of existence is given. And the author, like many other philosophers, looks upon music as the type of the arts.
