Abstract

A rich source for comparative studies of the 'body', and of its relation to society. This book aims to highlight the distinctive and unfamiliar ways in which diverse religious traditions understand the 'body', and also, in doing this, to raise to greater consciousness some of the assumptions and problems of contemporary attitudes to it. It brings together essays by established experts in the history of religion, the social sciences, and philosophy. Part I is devoted to an analysis of current secularized discourses on the 'body', and to exposing both their anti-religious and their covertly religious content. Parts II and III provide essays on traditional 'Western' and 'Eastern' religious attitudes to the 'body'. Each contributor focuses on some (especially characteristic) devotional practices or relevant texts; each carefully outlines the total context in which a distinctive religious attitude to 'bodiliness' occurs. The result is a rich source for comparative studies of the 'body', and of its relation to society and to the divine.

Abstract

Les convictions religieuses conduisent régulièrement les individus à adopter des comportements particuliers à l’égard de leur corps. Le sujet est éminemment complexe et sensible parce qu’il met à l’épreuve, au plan juridique, le droit au respect de l’intégrité physique et la liberté de religion. Aussi les législateurs et les juges se saisissent-ils de cette question qu’avec la plus grande prudence. Cet ouvrage constitue le fruit d’une étude internationale et pluridisciplinaire inédite dans dix-huit États sur l’appréhension par le droit de l’impact exercé par les religions sur le corps humain.
