The history of cosmology is often understood in terms of the
development of modern science, but Asian cosmological thought and
practice touched on many aspects of life, including mathematics,
astronomy, politics, philosophy, religion, and art. Because of the
deep pervasion of cosmology in culture, many opportunities arose
for transmissions of cosmological ideas across borders and
innovations of knowledge and application in new contexts. Taking a
wider view, one finds that cosmological ideas traveled widely and
intermingled freely, being frequently reinterpreted by scholars,
ritualists, and artists and transforming as they overlapped with
ideas and practices from other traditions. This book brings
together ten diverse scholars to present their views on these
overlapping cosmologies in Asia. They are Ryuji Hiraoka, Satomi
Hiyama, Eric Huntington, Yoichi Isahaya, Catherine Jami, Bill M.
Mak, D. Max Moerman, Adrian C. Pirtea, John Steele, and Dror Weil.
