Through a series of case studies taken from everyday experiences of people following a variety of religions, this book interrogates the supposed epistemological dualism between modernity and religion in India. Through a study of oral and textual traditions, examining the perspectives of women and other marginal social and regional groups, as well as the diaspora, it presents dynamically interacting textures of society-historically and in our contemporary times-engaging with modernity in divergent ways

'We know of the wrongs of economic deprivation, of the explosive inequity of inegalitarian societies … But a conspiracy of diplomatic silences appears to overtake the civilised world where the ravages of religious extremism plead for urgent redress. It is time, surely, for an aggressive recognition of the aggressive face of religion.'

This paper examines the relation between politics and religion during the first revolutionary decade in the River Plate through the analysis of the criticism against the Spanish Inquisition made by those who ventured to the revolution. The analysis of the representations that B. Monteagudo and C. Henríquez built about the Court and how they were politically used in the Public Sphere shows that the issue of the Inquisition occupied a significant place in the political thought of the revolutionary period. It happens that the criticism against the Inquisition, when appears, gives rise to the defense of the natural rights and a form of government imagined as liberal. Therefore, the criticism was not only a resource to attack Spain, was, also, a mean to imagine new ways to articulate religion and politics. ; El artículo examina la relación entre política y religión durante la primera década revolucionaria del Río de la Plata a partir del análisis de la crítica a la Inquisición española por parte de quienes se aventuraron a la revolución. El análisis de las representaciones que B. Monteagudo y C. Henríquez construyeron acerca del tribunal, y el uso político que se hicieron de las mismas en la esfera pública porteña, demuestra que la cuestión inquisitorial ocupó un lugar significativo en el pensamiento político del período revolucionario. Es que la crítica a la Inquisición, allí cuando aparece, cede lugar a la defensa de los derechos naturales del hombre conjugada con una forma de gobierno que se imagina como liberal. Pues su crítica no era un mero recurso para atacar a España, era, también, un medio para imaginar nuevas formas de articular religión y política.

Despite increasing public attention to animal suffering, human beings continue to exploit billions of animals in factory farms medical laboratories, and elsewhere. This wide-ranging study shows how spiritual teachings in seven major religious traditions can help people consider their ethical obligations towards other creatures

THE THEORETICAL FOUNDERS OF MODERN REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT, MEN LIKE MACHIAVELLI AND LOCKE, CONSIDERED THE SEPARATION OF RELIGION AND POLITICS TO BE CRUCIAL TO THE SUCCESS OF THEIR NEW PROPOSALS. A SIMILAR FEAR OF MIXING RELIGION AND POLITICS ANIMATED MANY OF THE FOUNDERS OF THE GREATEST MODERN REPUBLIC, THE UNITED STATES, AS WELL. WHILE THE PRECISE RELATIONSHIP OF RELIGION AND POLITICS IN THE THOUGHTS OF THESE MEN VARIED, MOST AGREED IN THE BELIEF THAT A TOO POWERFUL CHURCH AND AN EXCESSIVE CONCERN FOR AN OTHERWORDLY EXISTENCE STOOD IN THE WAY OF THE SECURING OF MAN'S EARTHLY GOALS--CIVIL PEACE, MATERIAL PROSPERITY AND, MOST GENERALLY, MAN'S NATURAL RIGHTS. THE SOLUTION USUALLY FAVORED WAS THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF RELIGIOUS TOLERATION, TOGETHER WITH THE SUBORDINATION OF RELIGIOUS TO POLITICAL CONCERNS. SUCH A POLICY WAS MEANT TO WEAKEN THE HOLD OF RELIGION OVER POLITICS AND THUS TO LESSEN THE POSSIBILITY THAT A FANATICAL ADHERENCE TO A PARTICULAR RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE MIGHT INTERFERE WITH AN INDIVIDUAL'S RIGHT TO PURSUE HAPPINESS AS HE OR SHE SAW FIT (SEE, FOR EXAMPLE, LOCKE 1950).
