Book Synopsis Tantric Revisionings by : Geoffrey Samuel

Download or read book Tantric Revisionings written by Geoffrey Samuel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tantric Revisionings presents stimulating new perspectives on Hindu and Buddhist religion, particularly their Tantric versions, in India, Tibet or in modern Western societies. Geoffrey Samuel adopts an historically and textually informed anthropological approach, seeking to locate and understand religion in its social and cultural context. The question of the relation between 'popular' (folk, domestic, village, 'shamanic') religion and elite (literary, textual, monastic) religion forms a recurring theme through these studies. Six chapters have not been previously published; the previously published studies included are in publications which are difficult to locate outside major specialist libraries.
