Hinduism Reconsidered

Hinduism Reconsidered

By- Gunther-Dietz Sontheimer and Hermann Kulke

This is a revised and enlarged edition of the book first published in 1989. Seventeen well researched papers in the volume address important questions thrown up by contemporary research on Hinduism: Do conventional notions of Hinduism need to be reformulated on the basis of new evidence and modern theories? Is it prudent to interpret Hinduism without an inter-disciplinary and contextual approach? In short, what does Hinduism mean? The papers reflect a wide variety of opinions on what Hinduism means and help us better understand Hinduism which cannot be forced into watertight inflexible categories.

Gunther-Dietz Sontheimer died in 1992. He was Professor of Indian Religion and Philosophy at the South Asia Institute, Heidelberg University, Germany.

Hermann Kulke is Professor of Indian History at Kiel University, Germany.
