Addressing one of the most difficult conceptual topics in the study
of classical Hinduism, Ariel Glucklich presents a rigorous
phenomenology of dharma, or order. The work moves away from the
usual emphasis on symbols and theoretical formulations of dharma as
a religious and moral norm. Instead, it focuses on images that
emerge from the basic experiential interaction of the body in its
spatial and temporal contexts, such as the sensation of water on
the skin during the morning purification, or the physical
manipulation of the bride during the marriage ritual. Images of
dharma are examined in myths, rituals, art, and even the physical
landscape of the Hindu world. The varied and contingent experiences
of dharma infuse it with a meaning that transcends a false
analytical distinction from adharma, or chaos. Glucklich shows that
when dharma is experienced by means of living images, it becomes
inescapably temporal, and therefore inseparable from adharma.
