The Anthropology Of Buddhism And Hinduism: Weberian Themes by David N. Gellner

The Anthropology Of Buddhism And Hinduism: Weberian Themes by David N. GellnerMax Weber's ideas have had enormous influence in theoretical sociology. But what he wrote about Asia has more often been cited by specialists to illustrate his errors rather than to derive inspiration. This collection of essays both engages with Max Weber's work, and attempts to use his general approach, combined with detailed ethnography from Nepal and Japan, to attack critical questions in the anthropology and sociology of Buddhism and Hinduism.
