Sommario/riassunto

In modern societies the functional differentiation of medicine and religion is the predominant paradigm. Contemporary therapeutic



practices and concepts in healing systems, such as Transpersonal Psychology, Ayurveda, as well as Buddhist and Anthroposophic medicine, however, are shaped by medical as well as religious or spiritual elements. This book investigates configurations of the entanglement between medicine, religion, and spirituality in Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa. How do political and legal conditions affect these healing systems? How do they relate to religious and scientific discourses? How do therapeutic practitioners position themselves between medicine and religion, and what is their appeal for patients?

»Die dargestellten Perspektiven und Erkenntnisse in diesem Sammelband können [...] einen gewinnbringenden Beitrag leisten, einer stigmatisierenden Polarisierung, abwertenden Hierarchisierung oder undifferenzierten Generalisierung vorzubeugen.«

»Dieser Band [ist] ergiebig, anregend und hinreichend differenziert im Umgang mit einem äußerst diffusen zeitgenössischen Phänomen, das weiterer Untersuchungen, Überprüfungen und Einschätzungen bedarf.«

Besprochen in: Zeitschrift für Religionswissenschaft, 29/2 (2021), Benedikt J. KastnerCurare, 44/1-4 (2021)

»The perspectives and insights presented in this anthology can [...] make a valuable contribution to preventing stigmatising polarisation, pejorative hierarchisation or undifferentiated generalisation.«
