Abstract:

This paper looks at Rabindranath Tagore, the great Indian writer, as a polymath, a man crossing literary, artistic, intellectual, linguistic and civilizational borders of all kinds, and as someone whose imagination was always in flight. It sees him as someone who, time and again, kept trying his hand at all sorts of things, despite the difficulties he faced and the challenges ahead of him. He thus worked also as a reform-oriented educator and as someone committed to educational and agricultural ventures. The paper also notes the polymathic travails Tagore occasionally encountered and the indiscretions that sometimes resulted from his scanting of borders. It traces the main features of his polymathic voyaging from his youth to the final months of his life and stresses the growth and vitality of his imaginings.

摘要：

本文将伟大的印度作家罗宾德拉纳特·泰戈尔视为一位博学者，一个跨越文学、艺术、知识、语言和文明各个领域的边界的人，一个总是充满想象力的人。人们认为他是一个不断尝试各种事情的人，尽管他面临着困难和挑战。因此，他也是一位改革导向的教育家，也是一位致力于教育和农业事业的人。该报还指出了泰戈尔偶尔遇到的博学之苦，以及有时由于他缺乏边界而导致的轻率行为。它追溯了他从青年时代到生命最后几个月博学之旅的主要特征，并强调了他想象力的成长和活力。
