The study of Hinduism is fragmented among many disciplines. Early
academic study of Hinduism was overwhelmingly a study of texts, and
while a strong philological tradition continues to characterise
much work on Hinduism (in particular in Indology), very different
materials and questions animate debates among anthropologists,
sociologists, historians, philosophers, and others. The result is
that Hindu institutions such as temples are understood quite
differently by those who focus on their political, economic,
religious, or aesthetic dimensions. Valuable contributions are also
beginning to appear in emergent fields as diverse as cognitive
science and constructive Hindu theology. While many works in these
fields are published in Europe or North America, significant work
appears in journals and books published in India which remain hard
to access elsewhere. The collection is fully indexed and
supplemented with a comprehensive introduction, newly written by
the editor, which places the gathered materials in their historical
and intellectual context.
