{"product_id":"secularities-in-japan-ugo-dess-9789004517363","title":"Secularities in Japan","description":"This volume brings together contributions that, from different disciplinary perspectives, highlight certain aspects and problems related to the configuration of the relationship between the religious and the secular in Japan. In the background stands the question of the historical path dependencies that lead to the formation of a specifically Japanese secularity. Based on the assumption that existing epistemic and social structures shape the way in which Western concepts of secularism were appropriated, the individual case studies demonstrate that the culturally specific appropriation of Western regulatory principles such as secularism has created problems that are of political relevance in contemporary Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ugo Dessì\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004517367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004517363\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.51lbs","brand":"Ugo Dessì","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44069805457663,"sku":"9789004517363","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f73f5cf7-0ce2-463e-803d-49ff0151976a.jpg?v=1685426598","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/secularities-in-japan-ugo-dess-9789004517363","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
