Beschreibung
This volume discusses the popular scholarly thesis that the concept "religion" is an idiosyncratic product of Western intellectual history which Western scholars have imposed on non-European cultures. The essays in this book provide historical case studies of various regions in Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Tibet, Mongolia, China, and Japan). They show that while few indigenous terms are exactly equivalent to "religion" - which is a contested term itself -, pre-modern Asian cultures did clearly identify cultural segments that we would classify as "religion." The essays suggest that studying such identifications will enrich the conceptuallization of "religion" in religious studies. [Vom Buchumschlag]
