商品簡介
French structuralist Louis Dumont (1911-98) was much more directly involved in the study of religion than his contemporary Claude Levi-Strauss, claims Strenski (religious studies, U. of California-Riverside), though of course not nearly as well known a member of the group inspired by Durkheim. He examines what religious scholars can learn from Dumont, his views on hierarchy, individualism and its religious origins, the danger of a constricted frame of reference when conducting comparative studies, and morality and social cosmology.
