Duração7h 49m
Sobre este audiolivro
The Philosophy of Rabindranath Tagore offers a lucid exposition of the metaphysical, ethical, and spiritual vision underlying Tagore's poetry, fiction, and essays. Written in a refined, argumentative prose, the book situates Tagore within the broad currents of Indian idealism while also addressing Western philosophical concerns about personality, freedom, beauty, and the divine. Radhakrishnan presents Tagore not merely as a literary genius but as a thinker whose art embodies a coherent philosophy of unity, love, and creative self-realization. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, one of modern India's foremost philosophers and later its President, was uniquely equipped to interpret Tagore's thought for an international readership. Trained in both Indian and Western philosophical traditions, he sought to demonstrate the intellectual depth of Indian spirituality at a time when colonial discourse often dismissed it as mystical or unsystematic. His sympathy for Vedanta, combined with his academic rigor, shaped this generous yet disciplined reading of Tagore. This book is recommended for readers interested in Tagore, comparative philosophy, Indian intellectual history, and the relation between literature and spiritual thought. It remains a valuable introduction to Tagore's worldview and to Radhakrishnan's elegant method of philosophical interpretation.
