Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Aspects of Ancient Indian Polity, Vol. 1 Among the gratifying consequences of the awakening of political aspirations in India must be reckoned the development of a keen interest in the history of Indian theories of polity. The discovery a few years ago of the Arthsastra, a manual of statecraft, attributed, though without adequate ground, to the wise councillor who aided Candragupta to free India from the menace of Greek domination, afforded rich material for investigation and poured a flood of light upon the obscurities of the more recent texts. To the researches which have already been conducted on this theme Mr. Narendra Nath Law has added in this work much that is novel and of importance, and has enabled us to see more clearly than before the fundamental character of Indian political thought and practice. The subtle and profound spirit of India, which finds its fullest expression in the absolute idealism of the Vedanta of Sankara and the sceptical nihilism of Nagarjuna, is alien to the conception of man as a political organism, whose true end can be found only in and through membership of a social community. Hence India offers nothing that can be regarded as a serious theory of politics in the wider sense of that term. But there was intensive study of the practical aspect of government and of relations between states, and these topics were subjected to a minute analysis by writers on politics, who carried out their work with that love of subdivision and numerical detail which induces the authors of treatises on poetics to vie with one another in multiplying the types of hero or heroine or of figures of speech.
