Philosophical concepts are influential in the theories and methods
to study the world religions. Even though the disciplines of
anthropology and religious studies now encompass communities and
cultures across the world, the theories and methods used to study
world religions and cultures continue to be rooted in Western
philosophies. For instance, one of the most widely used textbooks
used in introductory courses on religious studies, introduces major
theoreticians such as Edward Burnett Tylor, James Frazer, Sigmund
Freud, Emile Durkheim, Karl Marx, Max Weber, Mircea Eliade, William
James, E. E. Evans-Pritchard, and Clifford Geertz. Their theories
are based on Western philosophy. In contrast, in Indic
philosophical systems, such as Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism, one
of the common views on reality is that the world both within one
self and outside is a flow with nothing permanent, both the
observer and the observed undergoing constant transformation. This
volume is based on such innovative ideas coming from different
Indic philosophies and how they can enrich the theory and methods
in religious studies.
