Transforming the Void: Embryological Discourse and Reproductive
Imagery in East Asian Religions considers paths to self-cultivation
and salvation that are patterned on human embryological development
or procreative imagery in the religions of China and Japan.
Focusing on Taoism, Esoteric Buddhism, Shinto, Shugendo, and local
religious traditions, the contributors to the volume provide new
insight into how the body's generative processes are harnessed as
powerful metaphors for spiritual attainment. This volume offers an
in-depth examination of the religious dimensions of embryology and
reproductive imagery, topics that have been hitherto solely
approached through the lens of the history of medicine.
Contributors include: Brigitte Baptandier, Catherine Despeux,
Gregoire Espesset, Christine Mollier, Fabrizio Pregadio, Dominic
Steavu, Lucia Dolce, Bernard Faure, Iyanaga Nobumi, Anna Andreeva,
Kigensan Licha, Gaynor Sekimori.
