Abstract
THE PURPosE OF this paper can be stated quite briefly: to raise the question as to whether the discipline of Indian aesthetics can be analyzed by the metalanguage of semiotic (the general theory of signs); or, more precisely, can a particular theory of Indian art, which we will define, be discussed, analyzed, or described in terms of the language of semiotic? The paper is divided into two parts. Each part undertakes to ask a specific question and to supply a specific answer. The first question is, What is Indian aesthetics ? and, precisely, What is the nature of the sign-system of that discipline? The second question is, Are the sign processes of Indian aesthetics related to semiotic and, if so, in what manner ? In essence, then, we are going to talk about the relationship of two metalanguages: Indian aesthetics and semiotic.
