The People and the Dao: New Studies in Chinese Religions in Honour of Daniel L. Overmyer: Monumenta Serica Monograph Series

Editat de Philip Clart, Paul Crowe
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 iun 2009
The papers in this volume go back to a conference held September 14-15, 2002, at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, B.C., in honour of Prof. Daniel L. Overmyer on his retirement. The contributions pay tribute to this renowned scholar of Chinese religious traditions, whose work is a constant reminder to look beyond text to context, beyond idea to practice, to study religion as it was and is lived by real people rather than as an abstract system of ideas and doctrines.
