Around Abhinavagupta: Aspects of the Intellectual History of Kashmir from the Ninth to the Eleventh Century

0/5 ( ratings)

Abhinavagupta is undoubtedly the most famous Kashmirian medieval intellectual: his decisive contributions to Indian aesthetics, Saiva theology, and metaphysics, and to the philosophy of the subtle and original Pratyabhijna system, are well known. Yet so far his works have often been studied without fully taking into account the specific historical, social, artistic, religious, and philosophical context in which they are embedded. The purpose of this book is to show that this intellectual background is no less exceptional than Abhinavagupta himself. [Subject: History, Abhinavagupta, India Studies, Religious Studies]
