The Tantric Body: The Secret Tradition of Hindu Religion
ISBN: 9781845110116 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Is tantra just about exotic sexual practice or does it amount to something more? This lively and original book contributes to a more complete understanding of tantra. It argues that within the different Hindu traditions, it is ritual and ascetic practice which fully explains corporeality. Without minimizing its sexual dimensions, Flood argues that the tantric body is more than just a sexual entity, and cannot be understood apart from the religious traditions and texts that give it form.

This book provides a much-needed thematic and historical introduction to Hinduism, the religion of the majority of people in India.

The Truth Within: A History of Inwardness in Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism
ISBN: 9780199684564 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The idea that there is a truth within the person linked to the discovery of a deeper, more fundamental, more authentic self has been a common theme in many religions throughout history and an idea that is still with us today. This inwardness or interiority unique to me as an essential feature of who I am has been an aspect of culture and even a defining characteristic of human being; an authentic, private sphere to which we can retreat that is beyond the conflicts of the outer world. This inner world becomes more real than the outer, which is seen as but a pale reflection. Remarkably, the...

Beyond Phenomenology
ISBN: 9780304705702 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book argues that the understanding and explanation of religion is always historically contingent. Grounded in the work of Bakhtin and Ricoeur, Flood positions the academic study of religion within contemporary debates in the social sciences and humanities concerning modernity and postmodernity, particularly contested issues regarding truth and knowledge. It challenges the view that religions are privileged, epistemic objects, argues for the importance of metatheory, and presents an argument for the dialogical nature of inquiry. The study of religion should begin with language and... This book argues that the understanding and explanation of religion is always historically contingent.
