## Description

Ananda K. Coomaraswamy was engaged in the world not only as a scholarly expositor of traditional culture and philosophy, but also as a radical critic of contemporary life. Edited by the author’s son Rama, this book is an introduction to the essential writings of a key figure in the twentieth century revival of traditionalist thought. A. K. Coomaraswamy’s writings have been respected worldwide for demonstrating the universal spiritual content within the traditional art and philosophy of both the East and West. The Essential Ananda K. Coomaraswamy contains 20 essays on topics reflecting the vast scope of Coomaraswamy's intellect, including those topics with which he is most associated, such as symbolism, Eastern vs. Western thinking, mythology, literature, metaphysics, traditional art, folklore, and even more! For those new to Coomaraswamy's writings, this is an excellent survey, and for those who cannot find some of his out-of-print essays, this collection may be the solution. The introduction by Rama Coomaraswamy includes a wonderful biography of his father with many details and from a perspective that have never been available before.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent and fascinating book.

Quickly delivered!

### ⭐ Poor Book Production
*by M***N on 1 July 2014*

While I just received this book and already have problems with it. For an older and fairly prominent book, it is disappointing to find neither page numbers nor a Table of Contents. This information should be provided before buying. Had I known there was no direct link to each section and essay, I would forgo the purchase and not waste the time. The One Star is only for formatting and in no way concerns the contents.
