The Concept of Tradition
Now available in India. Forthcoming in the rest of the world in 2025.
Is tradition more than a mere linear progression of artefacts and ideas?
How does art reflect the evolving relationship between nature and humanity?
What impact has industrialization had on our aesthetic sensibilities?
What are the structures that transmit cultural knowledge across generations?
Can tradition serve as a viable framework for human endeavour in modern society?
In The Concept of Tradition and Other Essays, K. G. Subramanyan (1924–2016), one of India’s most respected artist-writers, answers these questions with his trademark candour, lucidity and wisdom.
