Abstract

The objective of this study is to critically examine Tagore's conceptualization of the interplay between humanity and the environment, as well as the broader cosmos. The primary objective of this analysis is to elucidate how Tagore's poetic and philosophical comprehension of the interconnectedness between humanity and the natural world, as well as the person and the cosmos, enables him to cultivate a profound perspective on the world. This particular worldview has a considerable capacity to provide an alternate vantage point for understanding nature and the role of humanity within the cosmos. I will thoroughly examine the underlying conceptual framework that supports his theories centred on the relationship between man and nature. The chapter will conclude by alluding to the view that Tagore's philosophy of human nature offers a valuable framework for contemplating his ideas on aesthetics and ethics
