Collection of interesting essays by Coomaraswamy,
By abotts@shelby.net (Boiling Springs, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Am I My Brothers Keeper (Hardcover)
While Coomaraswamy is primarily known for his work on art and mythology, he published many articles on religion and culture. Many of these essays are collected here. The title essay is arresting for a Christian, and places Cain's question in a wider cultural and religious context. One of my favorites is "The Bugbear of Literacy," where to the astonishment of an academic such as this writer, he asserts that literacy can actually kill or at least reduce the vitality of a culture. To me he makes the case based on anthropology, religion, and culture. The writing is excellent and makes the reading a pleasure. I fully recommend it.
