Ritual and Its Consequences: An Essay on the Limits of Sincerity
Seligman, Adam B. (, Professor of Religion and Research Associate, CURA, BU, USA)
This book argues for the continuing tension across historical contexts between movements emphasizing ritual and movements emphasizing sincerity. Our contemporary age has, at great risk, downplayed the importance of ritual. Drawing on examples from Chinese, Greek, Jewish, and contemporary culture, the book presents an innovative interdisciplinary account of how ritual works.
