It would not be an exaggeration to say that during the last
century, most especially during and since the 1960s, the language
of spirituality has become one of the most significant ways in
which the sacred has come to be understood and judged in the West,
and, increasingly, elsewhere. Whether it is true that
'spirituality' has eclipsed 'religion' in Western settings remains
debatable. What is incontestable is that the language of
spirituality, together with practices (most noticeably spiritual,
complementary, and alternative medicine), has become a major
feature of the sacred dimensions of contemporary modernity. Equally
incontestably, spirituality is a growing force in all those
developing countries where its presence is increasingly felt among
the cosmopolitan elite, and where spiritual forms of traditional,
complementary, and alternative medicine are thriving. This new
four-volume Major Work collection from Routledge provides a
coherent compilation of landmark texts which cannot be ignored by
those intent on making sense of what is happening to the sacred as
spirituality-more exactly what is taken to be spirituality-develops
as an increasingly important lingua franca, series of practices,
and as a humanistic ethicality.
