Description

Varieties of Secularism in Asia offers an ethnographically rich and theoretically well-informed look at the relationship between religion, politics, and the spiritual. This volume builds upon the foundational work of scholars like Talal Asad and Charles Taylor, expanding the conversation regarding secularism and its role in socio-political life. While previous major works have focused on the conditions of belief in God within Western modernity, this collection addresses the specific challenges posed by the spiritual in Asian contexts. By combining theoretical discussions with concrete ethnographic cases, the book provides a coherent framework for understanding how secularism functions across different cultures. This text is an essential resource for students and researchers in the anthropology of Asia. It moves beyond Western-centric views to examine how different societies navigate the boundaries between the sacred and the political. Whether you are studying sociology, religious studies, or political science, this volume provides the necessary depth to understand these complex global dynamics.
