[From Introduction] This volume is the second of the series planned as an introduction to the study of the arts in Asia, and is devoted to the Indian world, both Muhammadan and non-Muhammadan, including Farther India and the Malay Archipelago, but excluding Kashgaria and Tibet, which will find a place, with China, in Volumes III and IV of this series. The fact is that India, with the cultures which trace their origin to it, is a world apart, one of the three or four great centres of human thought. There have been an Indian aesthetic ideal and an Indian humanism of equal value to the world at large with the aesthetic ideal and the humanism of either the Mediterranean countries or China. To convey an idea of what this centre of culture was, I have given copious illustrations and quotations from texts, as in the previous volume, or even more so. The mere juxtaposition of a page from the Lalitavistara with a relief from Amaravati, or of a stanza of the Gita Govinda with a Rajput miniature, will create the atmosphere and suggest the surroundings in which they came into being better than any dissertation. By such means as these I have attempted to call up a picture of Indian civilization, while referring my readers to an-other of my works for a history of facts and ideas. .…

Dust Jacket Unpriced, Rear Panel With Excerpts From Five German Reviews Of The 1930 German Edition; Some Wear, Dust, Short Edge Tears And Small Losses At Corners Not Affecting The Lettering. Per Wikipedia, Hans Felix Von Eckardt (1890- 1957 ) Was A German Sociologist, Political Scientist And Media Scientist Of Baltic German Origin. Initially, Eckardt Strove To Establish A Theoretical Foundation For Political Science , Focusing Not On The History Of Ideas But On The Respective Modes Of Asserting The Will To Power. This Preoccupation Resulted In His Theory Of Political Behavior, In Which The Figure Of The Political Leader Played A Significant Role. The Press, He Argued, Had The Task Of Preparing The Political Will And Making Decisions. However, This Was No Longer Fulfilled Due To The Purely News And Sensationalist Nature Of Bourgeois Newspapers.
