Description

This scholarly work explores how the human body is understood through fundamentally different cultural lenses in Western and Indian traditions. The book demonstrates that the concept of the body cannot be reduced to a single definition within Indian culture, revealing instead the considerable and often conflicting variations in body images and body concepts across different contexts. Organised into three parts, the text examines representations of the body in religious and philosophical texts, drawing on contributions that bridge South Asian and European scholarly perspectives. The work acknowledges that any meaningful study of embodiment must account for these cultural differences and complexities. Published by Routledge, this volume is essential for scholars, students, and researchers interested in cultural studies, philosophy, anthropology, and the intersection of Eastern and Western thought systems.

Key Features

Examines representations of the body in religious and philosophical texts across South Asian and European traditions.

Demonstrates why a single unified concept of the body within Indian culture would be fundamentally misleading and incomplete.

Organised into three distinct parts that explore considerable and often conflicting variations in body images and concepts.

Bridges South Asian and European scholarly perspectives to provide comprehensive cultural analysis.

Published by Routledge India, an established academic publisher specialising in humanities and social sciences research.
