S.S. Barlingay

S.S. Barlingay was a distinguished Indian philosopher specializing in aesthetics and Indian philosophy. In Modern Introduction of Indian Aesthetic Theory, he meticulously examines the evolution of the rasa theory, tracing its origins from Bharatamuni's Natyashastra and its subsequent development by scholars such as Abhinavagupta, Bhattatauta, and Jagannatha. This work explores the intricate relationship between art and beauty, perception of time and space in art, and the classification of various art forms. Barlingay also authored Reunderstanding Indian Philosophy and Confessions and Commitments, further contributing to the discourse on Indian thought.
