Abstract:

I have always contended that no philosophy is evolved independently of time and milieu. For that matter, neither can any school of art develop independently of the political, social and economic forces of its native place. Life is a vast complex of forces acting upon one another and to express it, one must understand it. And to understand it one cannot single out one force at the exclusion of the other.
