The medieval period of Japanese religious history is commonly
known as one in which there was a radical transformation of the
religious culture. This book suggests an alternate approach to
understanding the dynamics of that transformation. One main topic
of analysis focuses on what Buddhism - its practices and doctrines,
its traditions and institutions - meant for medieval Japanese
peoples themselves. This is achieved by using the notions of
discourse and ideology and juxtaposing various topics on shared
linguistic practices and discursive worlds of medieval Japanese
Buddhism.
Collating contributions from outstanding scholars in the field
of Buddhist Studies, the editors have created an important work
that builds on preliminary work on rethinking the importance and
meaning of Kamakura Buddhism published recently in English, and
adds greatly to the debate.
