  • Le devoir, force de Vérité dans l'Inde ancienne

    Open AccessW Norman BrownARTICLEAnnales Histoire Sciences Sociales1973

    Il y avait dans l'Inde ancienne cette croyance : la Vérité possède une force qu'une personne pourvue des qualifications nécessaires peut invoquer pour accomplir des merveilles ou des miracles. Je prends le mot ' miracle ' dans une acception large car, j'espère le montrer, ce pouvoir n'est pas conçu comme quelque chose qui contredirait ou annulerait les lois physiques : il transcende ces lois physiques et trouve sa sanction dans les lois meta- ou …

    Open AccessW Norman BrownARTICLEThe Annals of the American…1964Cited by: 2

    South Asia consists of India, Pakistan, Ceylon, Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, and Afghanistan. Until the Second World War, the study of this area was almost entirely restricted to humanistic subjects as taught by professors of Sanskrit in American universities. Since the 1920's, the humanistic schol ars dealing with South Asia had felt that social science subjects should also be added, but had not succeeded in getting an ex panded program into the Ameri…

  • La vache sacrée dans la religion hindoue

    Open AccessW Norman BrownARTICLEAnnales Histoire Sciences Sociales1964References: 2

    Cet article a pour but de déterminer les notions dont le rôle fut décisif dans la formation de la doctrine hindoue d'après laquelle la vache est douée d'un caractère particulier de sainteté et d'inviolabilité qui la place au-dessus des autres animaux et qui interdit de consommer sa chair. La plupart des notions qui seront prises en considération en la matière firent leur apparition à l'époque des Védas, encore que la doctrine même de la vache sac…

  • The Content of Cultural Continuity in India

    Open AccessW Norman BrownARTICLEThe Journal of Asian Studies1961Cited by: 4

    One of the problems recurring in the Buddhist Pali Texts is the question of what it is that transmigrates. Buddhism accepts as axiomatic the doctrine of rebirth, a process of "renewal of becomings" until the attainment of complete knowledge, whereupon the process terminates. At the same time, the Pali texts are committed to the doctrine that there is no soul. The two doctrines, held simultaneously, presented a difficulty of which the Buddhist mon…

  • Religion and Language as Forces Affecting Unity in Asia

    Open AccessW Norman BrownARTICLEThe Annals of the American…1958

    Religion and language move Asians less than anticolonialism and the desire for economic development. It is the hope of Asian countries to attain increased agricultural pro duction, industrial expansion, more equitable distribution of wealth, and the attainment of the good life for their citizens. In the Near East religion and language furnish some of the background for Islamic and Arab hostility to Israel, but they are not strong enough to unite …
