内容説明

The essays selected for this volume represent Professor Ninian Smart's most contemporary reflections on major issues the field of religious studies. Beginning with investigations into the possibility of a science of religion, Professor Smart then goes on to consider how a sociology of religious knowledge can be developed, focusing in particular on Asian cultures and traditions. Finally he analyses the growth of religious studies as an academic field, a field his own work has helped to shape in a definitive way.
