Description
Résumé:"The Continuum Companion to Hindu Studies offers the definitive guide to the study of Hinduism. The book covers the most pressing themes and approaches in the field--areas that have continued to attract interest historically as well as topics that have emerged more recently as active areas of research. Specially commissioned essays from an international team of experts reveal where important work continues to be done in the field and further sections explore the history of Hindu Studies, Hinduism from the perspective of the major geographical regions, and the major academic approaches through philology, anthropology, history, archaeology, art-history, philosophy, and theology. Featuring a series of indispensible research tools, including a detailed list of resources, a chronology and a themed summary of Hinduism this suggests detailed reading paths on each topic, this is the essential reference tool for anyone working in Hindu Studies."--Page 4 of cover
