| This refreshingly
original work presents a totally new methodology for understanding the
concept of aesthetic experience. The traditional model of explaining this
experience through the dichotomy of the creator, beholder or critic on the
one hand, and the object of art, on the other is challenged and replaced by
the new model which the author prefers to call dialogue — a dialogue between
the subject and the object, I and Thou. The epistemological and ontological
methods which rely heavily on the bifurcation of the subject and the object
fails to reveal the true nature of the experiential whole that forms the real
core of aesthetic experience. The author’s innovative methodology holds the
promise for transcending the bounds of all such limitations and distinctions.
Most significantly, the conception of “art as dialogue” is stipulated to work
not as a means, but as an end, i.e., the consummation of art-experience
itself. In this scheme the principle of relationship, not the substance,
constitutes the reality of aesthetic experience and the model allows one to
encompass within its scope the pre-linguistic, linguistic and
trans-linguistic phases of the relationship between the man and the art. Dr.
Biswas’ long training in Phenomenology and Existentialism makes his study of
Martin Buber and Michael Polanyi lucid and stimulating. And his immense
interest in Modern Indian Philosophy results in a superb analysis of Tagore’s
and Radhakrishnan’s aesthetic approach |
