Details:
This book explores the concept of the sublime in Indian philosophy, specifically focusing on the Brahman. Unlike previous studies that rely on Western texts, The Indian Sublime shifts the perspective to the Hindu tradition. Dr. Vijay Mishra critically examines European theories of the sublime, compares them with contemporary critical thought (including Lyotard and Paul de Man), and presents the Brahman as one of the most developed theories of the Indian sublime. The book delves into the challenge of representing the divine in Hindu devotional verse and offers an insightful interpretation of how devotees establish a relationship with an ultimately ineffable God. This work is an essential read for those interested in Indian cultural history, philosophy, and religious studies.
