The series Religion and Society (RS) contributes to the exploration of religions as social systems– both in Western and non-Western societies; in particular, it examines religions in their differentiation from, and intersection with, other cultural systems, such as art, economy, law and politics. Due attention is given to paradigmatic case or comparative studies that exhibit a clear theoretical orientation with the empirical and historical data of religion and such aspects of religion as ritual, the religious imagination, constructions of tradition, iconography, or media. In addition, the formation of religious communities, their construction of identity, and their relation to society and the wider public are key issues of this series.

J. F. Rock hatte eine vielseitige Karriere: Vom Autodidakten entwickelte er sich zur Autorit�t fuer die Botanik Hawaiis; Forschungsreisen in Suedchina brachten reiche Ausbeute an Specimina botanischer (ca. 80000) und ornithologischer Art (ueber 1000) sowie illustrierte Artikel im National Geographic Magazine. In der Folge wurde Rock zum Experten fuer das kleine Volk der Nakhi, deren piktographische Manuskripte (ca. 5000) er sammelte und deren Rituale, Sprache und Geschichte er in umfangreichen Beitr�gen behandelte. Der vorliegende Band gibt ein Schriftenverzeichnis, T�tigkeitsberichte aus Hawaii, Zeitungsberichte ueber Rocks Forschungen, Briefwechsel mit Botanikern und Institutionen (so dem Gray Herbarium) und die umfangreiche Korrespondenz mit dem Harvard-Yenching-Institut, dessen Forschungsmitarbeiter Rock zeitweise war. Die Briefe und Dokumente geben einen lebendigen Eindruck von Rocks vielseitiger wissenschaftlicher T�tigkeit und seiner unternehmenden, eigenwilligen Pers�nlichkeit. "Unterlagen ueber Joseph Rock sind weit verstreut. Dementsprechend ist es schwierig, einen guten �berblick ueber das vorliegende Material zu gewinnen. Aus diesem Grund ist die von Hartmut Walravens hier vorgelegte Materialsammlung fuer eine seri�se Besch�ftigung mit Rock und seinem Lebenswerk von unsch�tzbarer Bedeutung. [�] Zusammenfassend kann festgestellt werden, dass die hier vorliegende Materialsammlung einzigartige Einblicke in die Person des Joseph Rock, seine Entwicklung sowie sein Lebenswerk darstellt. � Eine genauere Auswertung der hier gesammelten Korrespondenzen und Materialien wird wohl weit ueber die Grenzen der Ostasienwissenschaften hinaus wirken."

Reconstructs a theoretic parent cosmology that underlies ancient religion • Shows how this parent cosmology provided the conceptual origins of written language • Uses techniques of comparative cosmology to synchronize the creation traditions of the Dogon, ancient Egyptians, and ancient Buddhists • Applies the signature elements of this parent cosmology to explore and interpret the creation tradition of a present-day Tibetan/Chinese tribe called the Na-Khi--the keepers of the world’s last surviving hieroglyphic language Great thinkers and researchers such as Carl Jung have acknowledged the many broad similarities that exist between the myths and symbols of ancient cultures. One largely unexplored explanation for these similarities lies in the possibility that these systems of myth all descended from one common cosmological plan. Outlining the most significant aspects of cosmology found among the Dogon, ancient Egyptians, and ancient Buddhists, including the striking physical and cosmological parallels between the Dogon granary and the Buddhist stupa, Laird Scranton identifies the signature attributes of a theoretic ancient parent cosmology--a planned instructional system that may well have spawned these great ancient creation traditions. Examining the esoteric nature of cosmology itself, Scranton shows how this parent cosmology encompassed both a plan for the civilized instruction of humanity as well as the conceptual origins of language. The recurring shapes in all ancient religions were key elements of this plan, designed to give physical manifestation to the sacred and provide the means to conceptualize and compare earthly dimensions with those of the heavens. As a practical application of the plan, Scranton explores the myths and language of an obscure Chinese priestly tribe known as the Na-Khi--the keepers of the world’s last surviving hieroglyphic language. Suggesting that cosmology may have engendered civilization and not the other way around, Scranton reveals how this plan of cosmology provides the missing link between our macroscopic universe and the microscopic world of atoms.

This book, based on extensive ethnographic material, analyzes the complex relationships between the law and various social controls, helping to answer the question of how social order is formed. Formal law exists in a web of complex structures and meanings. Accordingly, legal study must take into account multiple types of order, allowing us to understand in depth the strengths and weaknesses, reasonable and absurdity, and successes and failures of the law. In addition, the interactions of numerous actors shape the structure and context of the law. Exploring these aspects—while also highlighting diverse informal/non-state norms that influence day-to-day social practices, and which have never been replaced by modern laws—the book offers an insightful resource for all readers who are interested in the practice of Chinese law or in the connections between culture, society, and the law.

The foundational work on shamanism now available as a Princeton Classics paperback Shamanism is an essential work on the study of this mysterious and fascinating phenomenon. The founder of the modern study of the history of religion, Mircea Eliade surveys the tradition through two and a half millennia of human history, moving from the shamanic traditions of Siberia and Central Asia—where shamanism was first observed—to North and South America, Indonesia, Tibet, China, and beyond. In this authoritative survey, Eliade illuminates the magico-religious life of societies that give primacy of place to the figure of the shaman—at once magician and medicine man, healer and miracle-doer, priest, mystic, and poet. Synthesizing the approaches of psychology, sociology, and ethnology, Shamanism remains the reference book of choice for those interested in this practice.
