Exploring the intersection of Indian visual culture and cognitive science, this book delves into Tantric imagery through classical Indian and modern Western philosophies. It employs contemporary theories such as metaphor, cognitive blend, and metonymy, alongside a holographic epistemology, to enhance understanding of myths and images. By applying the classical aesthetic theory of rasa, it reveals the significance of opaque images, offering a fresh perspective on Indian cultural materials while bridging philosophical analysis with cognitive studies.
