Book excerpt: This book provides an analytical understanding of some of Tagore¿s most contested and celebrated works and ideas. It reflects on his critique of nationalism, aesthetic worldview, and the idea of ¿surplus in man¿ underlying his life and works. It discusses the creative notion of surplus that stands not for ¿profit¿ or ¿value¿, but for celebrating human beings¿ continuous quest for reaching out beyond one¿s limits. It highlights, among other themes, how the idea of being ¿Indian¿ involves stages of evolution through a complex matrix of ideals, values and actions¿cultural, historical, literary and ideological. Examining the notion of the ¿universal¿, contemporary scholars come together in this volume to show how ¿surplus in man¿ is generated over the life of concrete particulars through creativity. The work brings forth a social scientific account of Tagore¿s thoughts and critically reconstructs many of his epochal ideas. Lucid in analysis and bolstered with historical reflection, this book will be a major intervention in understanding Tagore¿s works and its relevance for the contemporary human and social sciences. It will interest scholars and researchers of philosophy, literature and cultural studies.
