(2017) The aesthetics of development, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
New horizons of human development
art, spirituality and social transformations
Ananta Kumar Giri
pp. 21-47
Human development means not only economic, political and ethical development but it also means artistic and spiritual development. All these dimensions of development are interlinked but we have not paid sufficient attention to artistic and spiritual bases and horizons of human development and social transformations. To develop, both individually as well as collectively, is to develop one's artistic and spiritual potential. The essay explores relationships among art, spirituality and human development and describes examples from histories of ideas, art experiments and educational movements for creatively cultivating cross-fertilization among them further.
