This book in Tagore studies offers a fresh analysis of Tagorean thought by working through the philosophy and poetics of plasticity. As a prominent figure in plastic theory,Ghoshexplores Tagore''s views on education, identity politics, environment, and literature through what he calls the 'plastic principle'. This deconstructs Tagore''s thinking on''sahitya'', ecosophy, historicity and philosophy of history, and aesthetic education and the notion of the political. Not a standard intellectual biography or historical study, this book radicalizes how we think and interpret Tagore to arrive at whatGhoshcalls Plastic Tagore. The book, thus, thinksafter yesterday.
