ABOUT THE AUTHOR S.K. Saxena

Two particular years, quite wide apart, are special in Dr. Sushil Kumar Saxena's career as an author: 1967 and 2009. The first saw the appearance of his book Studies in the Metaphysics of Bradley, in the prestigious Muirhead Library series of philosophical works (George Allen and Unwin, London; and Humanities Press, New York); and the second may be said to herald the dawn of a quite new discipline, a truly contemporary aesthetics of Hindustani Music – through his pioneering work Hindustani Music and Aesthetics Today, brought out jointly by Sangeet Natak Akademy and Hope India Publications.After his retirement (in 1986) as a Professor from the University of Delhi, Dr. Saxena (b. 1921) has published five more books on Hindustani music, rhythm and Kathak dance; and one that bestpeaks his deep interest in philosophy of religion, namely, Ever Unto God: Essays on Gandhi and Religion (Indian Council of Philosophical Research, 1988).Dr. Saxena has received several honours, the latest among them being the Padma Bhushan and a Fellowship from Sangeet Natak Akademi, both in 2008.
