Publisher Description
Yet another contribution to the RoutledgeCurzon Critical Studies in Buddhism series
This study examines the roles of metaphor, and especially visual metaphor, in the construction of epistemic systems
It is important and timely as it substantially develops the theme of vision in South Asian religions - a subject which has so far been noticed in scholarly works but seldom analysed thematically
The book also expands the current discussion of vision and its roles in constructing epistemic systems and cultural practice beyond its exclusively European and American focus
The book develops the discussion of visual themes treated in Jacob Kinnard's Imaging Wisdom, previously published in the series
