- Book Synopsis
- The essays in this volume, contributions to an international symposium at the University of Lausanne in June 1998, represent the perception of the elements as a framework for the history of religions (Maya Burger), exemplified by the Hindu traditions. Each element is treated by a specialist in a different academic field in order to bring out a variety of approaches important to the discipline of the history of religion. Ether (akasa) was assigned to philosophy (Wilhelm Halbfass), wind to the history of religion (Bettina Baeumer), fire to classical philology (Peter Schreiner), water to a specialist on Indian medicine (Arion Rosu) and earth to anthropology (Gabriella Eichinger Ferro-Luzzi, specializing on Tamil literature). Les articles du present volume, issus d'un symposium international ayant eu lieu a l'Universite de Lausanne en juin 1998, presentent la perception des elements comme base de recherche de l'etude des religions (Maya Burger), exemplifiee a l'aide des traditions hindoues. Chaque element est traite par un specialiste d'une discipline academique particuliere dans le but de souligner la variete des approches necessaire a la discipline d'histoire des religions. L'ether (akasa) a ete considere sous l'angle de la philosophie (Wilhelm Halbfass), le vent sous celui de l'histoire des religions (Bettina Baeumer), le feu sous celui de la philologie classique (Peter Schreiner), l'eau par un specialiste de la medecine indienne (Arion Rosu) et la terre sous l'angle de l'anthropologie (Gabriella Eichinger Ferro-Luzzi, se concentrant sur la litterature tamoule).
