The book offers a unique approach to the question of the relationship of religious to scientific thought. Although these two modes of thought are often portrayed as contradictory, Michael Barnes argues that they evolved together and are therefore complementary. He examines the very intracate relationships that have existed, and continue to exist, between the two. Barnes does not shrink from the controversy, but also insists that cultural differences must not be the basis of judgments of superiority and inferiority among human beings.
A Dictionary of the Kedang Language presents the first extensive
published record of an Austronesian language on the remote Eastern
Indonesian island of Lembata. A special interest of the dictionary
resides in the fact that Kedang lies on the boundary line between
Austronesian and Papuan languages in Eastern Indonesia. The Kedang
entries are translated first into Indonesian and then into English.
For ease of access, finder lists are provided in Indonesian and in
English. The Introduction situates the language linguistically and
sketches the phonology and morphology, as well as the 'pairing'
(dyadic sets) in ritual and everyday usage of items of vocabulary
characteristic of Kedang.
