L. Mahendran, Dr. S. Akash

Abstract


Even though he was born in Sri Lanka, Ananda Coomaraswamy highlighted the worth and value of Indian thoughts to the entire world. He has used our philosophy as a way of life: a map and root to the universe. He proclaimed that Indian philosophy taught us the conception of moral values that guide human being with peace and pleasure. He also understood that Indian philosophy is more worthy and has deep meaning. He wished to declare its truth to the world. This paper aims at studying ‘way of life’ in a philosophical perspective in the works of Ananda Coomaraswamy.
