5.0 out of 5 stars
A truly "essential" writer of our time,
By MATEUS SOARES DE AZEVEDO (SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Essential Ananda K. Coomaraswamy (Perennial Philosophy Series) (Paperback)
The "communication society" in which we live submerges us with raw information in terms of numbers, dates, facts and figures. The net result is that our mind becomes cloged.
More than ever, it is necessary to harmonize information with real knowledge. Only few writers of our epoch have the gift of combining pure information and pure wisdom. Ananda Coomaraswamy is one of them. The writings collected by his son, the noted Christian traditional theologian Rama Coomaraswamy, constitute an outstanding instance of how to apply an immense erudition to the service of truth. This stimulating book demonstrates that Ananda Coomaraswamy is one of the few truly "essential" writers of our time. |
