{"product_id":"tantric-visual-culture-sthaneshwar-timalsina-9781138812840","title":"Tantric Visual Culture: A Cognitive Approach","description":"\u003cp\u003eIndian culture relies greatly on visual expression, and this book uses both classical Indian and contemporary Western philosophies and current studies on cognitive sciences, and applies them to contextualize Tantric visual culture. It utilizes the contemporary theories of metaphor and cognitive blend, the theory of metonymy, and a holographic theory of epistemology with a focus on concept formation and its application to the study of myths and images. It applies the classical aesthetic theory of rasa to unravel the meaning of opaque images. This philosophical and cognitive analysis allows materials from Indian culture to be understood in a new light, while engaging contemporary theories of cognitive science and semantics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sthaneshwar Timalsina\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138812846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138812840\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Sthaneshwar Timalsina","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153456181503,"sku":"9781138812840","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0e9adcac-7b04-44f7-986b-5e8499dda6c9.jpg?v=1770783596","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tantric-visual-culture-sthaneshwar-timalsina-9781138812840","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
