The contributors. Index. This volume is devoted to a thorough understanding of the concept of senses as it has been interpreted in the ancient Asian traditions with particular reference to Indian religious and philosophical thought. It examines the functions of the sense organs and the perception of them adopting a sociological and scientific approach. The first part of the presentation comments on the recurring cycle of five senses in Chinese Tibetan and Indian philosophy. It takes up ancient knowledge on the senses as can be gained form the Vedas and the Upanisads the Buddhist Abhidharma text and Jainism as also from Islamic and Christian philosophies. They relate functioning of the sense organs to aesthetic perception. Articles in the second part examine ethnic cultural communities responses to sense and attribution of functions to them as for instance the importance attached to the senses by the traditional snake charmers. They study responses by plant and animal life to their environment and inquire into the biological processes involved in sense perceptions. Modern technology is discussed as imitating the five senses. These articles should be of benefit to scholars interested in learning about the different aspect of Indian religious and philosophical perceptions. 238 pp.…
