This book explores the unfolding of modernity in the greater Asia
that uniquely takes shape at different times and places, with a
particular attention to a common thread that has been at heart of
the development: religion. The status of religion has been
relegated in the Western modernity to such that its effects be
restricted within the private realm and not be exerted in the
public or one's rationality. This edited volume sheds light on the
multifarious forces of religion both in the past and present that
have impacted on the essential aspects of modern society - aspects
in which one does not usually have recourse to religion in the West
- from science and technology, politics, and to identity in Asia.
Interdisciplinary approaches in the volume allow one to broadly
examine religious practices within Asian contexts, thus enabling to
reevaluate the concept, scope, and gamut of so-called religion.
