Contours of Indigenous Philosophy

Beschreibung

This book engages with aesthetics and ethics in North-East India. It involves the reader in indigenous knowledge and philosophy. It reflects upon the experiences of fieldwork and the observations made by field researchers. It thoroughly examines the neglected area of the study of women in aesthetic and ethical discourses within the ethnic life world.  Its significance lies in addressing marginalized subjects—women on the one hand and aesthetics-ethics on the other. Highlighting the importance of particularity, the book presents studies of more than 15 ethnic communities of North-East India, capturing indigenous thoughts, connections and linkages among different ethnicities. The book is an important read for students and researchers interested in ethnic philosophy and aesthetics.
