Wisdom of Community
The Wisdom of Community is a compilation of essays which documents the key issues that have been pertinent in national debates in India. In some ways it takes a linear and chronological position on how the past informs us as we proceed with making sense of postmodern fluid society. It tries to understand how affected or influenced we are by colonialism, and the debates which brought us our freedom. It uses biography, symbols and narratives to piece together our engagement with literature, history, myth and legend. It presupposes that the past is contextualised through narrative production.

Exploring Alterity in a Globalized World
This volume develops a unique framework to understand India through indigenous and European perspectives, and examines how it copes with the larger challenges of a globalized world. Through a discussion of religious and philosophical traditions, cultural developments as well as contemporary theatre, films and media, it explores the manner in which India negotiates the trials of globalization. It also focuses upon India’s school and education system, its limitations and successes, and how it prepares to achieve social inclusion. The work further shows how contemporary societies in both India and Europe deal with cultural diversity and engage with the tensions between tendencies towards homogenization and diversity. This eclectic collection on what it is to be a part of global network will be of interest to scholars and researchers of South Asian studies, philosophy, sociology, culture studies, and religion.
Language of Religion, Language of the People
Judentum, Christentum und Islam - Band 11 der MittelalterStudien widmet sich den drei großen Kultgemeinschaf-ten im europäischen Mittelalter, drei monotheistischen Religionen, die sich und ihr Verhältnis zu einem Gott schriftlich konstituiert und damit die Sprache zu einer grundsätzlichen Kategorie gemacht haben. Im Zentrum der Fragestellung stehen die jeweiligen Umstände und Auswir-kungen der Verschriftlichung als Über-führung eines Kommunikationssystems in das neue Medium der Schriftlich-keit.
Mystical Approaches to God
Review quote. A quote from a review of the product: "Dieser Band ist für Religionswissenschaftler ein Glücksfall, da er Beiträge namhafter Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler zu einem ebenso viel diskutierten wie wenig beherrschten Gebiet der Forschung aus der Perspektive dreier Religionen bietet." Susanne Talabardon in: Theologische Literaturzeitung "Wer an der neueren Forschung zur Merkava-Mystik interessiert ist, erhält hier etwa 70 Seiten dichte Informationen, die vor allem auch den von Scholem selbst bereits als Desiderat erkannten Bezug zu den damals erst angfänglich erforschten Qumran-Texten herstellen." Marco A. Sorace in: Theologische Revue, Nr. 6/2008
Philosophy of Dionysius the Areopagite
This book proposes a reading of Dionysius the Areopagite's longest and most important treatise 'On the Divine Names' from a philosophical point of view, rather than from a theological point of view which dominates the secondary literature. At the same time, it can serve as an introduction to the entire philosophy of Dionysius.
