Radical Egalitarianism
In this volume, leading scholars in anthropology, religion, and area studies engage global and local perspectives dialectically to develop a historically grounded, ethnographically driven social science. The book’s chapters, drawing on research in East and Southeast Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas, are also in conversation with the extensive work of editor and contributor Stanley J. Tambiah: They all investigate some aspect of what Tambiah…
The Charisma of Saints and the Cult of Relics, Amulets, and Tomb Shrines
This chapter explores the seemingly paradoxical relationship between egalitarianism and hierarchy in Buddhist societies, focusing on the veneration of saints and their relics. Tambiah argues that while Buddhist doctrine emphasizes equality and the potential for enlightenment in all beings, the cult of relics and the charisma attributed to saints create a hierarchical structure that seemingly contradicts these principles. He examines how this tens…

Buddhist Saints of the Forest and the Cult of Amulets
Buddhism betrayed?
"This volume seeks to answer the question of how the Buddhist monks in today's Sri Lanka--given Buddhism's traditionally nonviolent philosophy--are able to participate in the fierce political violence of the Sinhalese against the Tamils."--Publisher's description.
Magic, Science, Religion, and the Scope of Rationality
This article explores the complex relationship between magic, science, religion, and rationality. Ruel and Tambiah argue against simplistic dichotomies that often separate these domains. They examine how different cultures conceptualize causality and efficacy, demonstrating that what might be considered "magical" thinking in one context can be understood as rational within its specific cultural framework. The authors draw on ethnographic examples…
Magic, Science, Religion and the Scope of Rationality
This article explores the complex relationship between magic, science, religion, and rationality. Luhrmann and Tambiah argue against a simple, linear progression from magical thinking to scientific rationality, proposing instead a more nuanced understanding of how these domains interact and overlap across different cultures and historical periods. They examine how rationality is culturally constructed and how seemingly "irrational" practices can …

In this accessible and illuminating book he deals with the classical opposition of magic with science and religion. He reviews the great debates in classical Judaism, early Greek science, Renaissance philosophy, the Protestant Reformation, and the scientific revolution, and then reconsiders the three major …

The Buddhist Saints of the Forest and the Cult of Amulets
The central actors in this book are some reclusive forest-dwelling ascetic meditation masters who have been acclaimed as 'saints' in contemporary Thailand. These saints originally pursued their salvation quest among the isolated villages of the country's periphery, but once recognized as holy men endowed with charisma, they became the radiating centres of a country-wide cult of amulets. The amulets, blessed by the saints, are avidly sought by roy…
