Exploring Methods and Positions

More about the book

Focusing on methodological and theoretical approaches to the study of religions, this two-volume work highlights Pye's commitment to an international perspective, integrating European and East Asian influences. The first volume covers topics like overcoming Eurocentrism and significant global structures. The second volume delves into themes such as tradition versus innovation, syncretism, and broader issues of identity and interreligious dialogue. Together, they emphasize the importance of a well-defined, responsible approach to the study of religions in contemporary contexts.
