ASIA AND THE SECULAR KARTONIERT (TB)

This volume looks at the secular state in the context of contemporary Asia and investigates
whether there existed before modernity antecedents to the condition of secularity  understood
as the differentiation of the sphere of the religious from other spheres of social life. The
chapters presented in this book examine this issue in national contexts by looking at the
historical formation of lexicons that defined the secular  the secular state  and secularism.
This approach requires paying attention to modern vernacular languages and their precedents in
written traditions with often a very long tradition. This book presents three interpretive
frameworks: multiple modernities  variety of secularisms  and typologies of post-colonial
secular states.
