Product Description
Book Description
This Companion presents the most recent scholarly thinking about Hinduism in an accessible way. It provides a forum for some of the best scholars in the world to make their views and research available to a wider audience.
While comprehensively covering the textual traditions of Hinduism, the volume also includes material on Hindu folk religions and stresses the importance of the region in analysing Hinduism. In doing so, it reflects the current move away from essentialist understandings towards tradition and region-specific studies.
The Companion as a whole spans the entire field of Hindu studies and is divided into four coherent sections: theoretical issues, textual traditions, systematic thought, and Hindu society and politics.
