Return of the Primitive

A New Sociological Theory of Religion

Edición de la obra The Return of the Primitive

"Creativity through shared perspectives lies at the heart of Ashgate's new series on Theology and Religion in Interdisciplinary Perspective. Central religious and theological topics can be raised to a higher order of expression and clarity when approached through interdisciplinary perspectives; this new series aims to provide a pool of potential theories and worked-out examples as a resource for ongoing debate, fostering intellectual curiosity rather than guarding traditional academic boundaries and extending, rather than acting as a simple guide to, an already well-defined field. Major theological issues of contemporary society and thought, as well as some long-established ideas, are explored in terms of current research across appropriate disciplines and with an international compass. The books in the series will prove of particular value to senior undergraduates, graduate and postgraduates, individual academics and others who see the benefit to be derived from bringing together ideas and information that often exist in relative isolation."--Jacket.
