Peter van der Veer begins with nineteenth-century imperial history, exploring how Western concepts of spirituality, secularity, religion, and magic were used to translate the traditions of India and China. He traces how modern Western notions of religion and magic were incorporated into the respective nation-building projects of Chinese and Indian nationalist intellectuals, yet how modernity in China and India is by no means uniform. While religion is a centerpiece of Indian nationalism, it is viewed in China as an obstacle to progress that must be marginalized and controlled. The Modern Spirit of Asia moves deftly from Kandinsky's understanding of spirituality in art to Indian yoga and Chinese qi gong, from modern theories of secularism to histories of Christian conversion, from Orientalist constructions of religion to Chinese campaigns against magic and superstition, and from Muslim Kashmir to Muslim Xinjiang. Van der Veer, an outspoken proponent of the importance of comparative studies of religion and society, eloquently makes his case in this groundbreaking examination of the spiritual and the secular in China and India. 606 $aChina -- Religious life and customs 606 $aIndia -- Religious life and customs 606 $aNationalism -- China -- Religious aspects 606 $aNationalism -- India -- Religious aspects 606 $aReligion and sociology -- China 606 $aReligion and sociology -- India 606 $aSecularism -- China -- History 606 $aSecularism -- India -- History 610 $aBangladesh. 610 $aChen Yingning. 610 $aChina. 610 $aChinese Muslims. 610 $aChinese modernity. 610 $aChinese spirituality. 610 $aChristian conversion. 610 $aChristianity. 610 $aFriedrich Max Mller. 610 $aGandhi. 610 $aIndia. 610 $aIndian Muslims. 610 $aIndian modernity. 610 $aIndian nationalism. 610 $aIndian spirituality. 610 $aIslam. 610 $aJesuit efforts. 610 $aMughal Empire. 610 $aMuslims. 610 $aPakistan. 610 $aPan-Asianism. 610 $aSacred Books of the East. 610 $aTagore. 610 $aTaixu. 610 $aWestern imperial modernity. 610 $aWestern imperialism. 610 $aWestern society. 610 $aanti-imperialism. 610 $aglobalization. 610 $aheterodoxy. 610 $aimperialism. 610 $aindustrialization. 610 $ainstitutionalized religion. 610 $aliberalization. 610 $aliberation. 610 $amagic. 610 $amaterialism. 610 $amessianic movements. 610 $aminoritization. 610 $amissionary movements. 610 $amodern vocabularies. 610 $amodernity. 610 $amodernizers. 610 $amoralization. 610 $anation-state. 610 $anational majority. 610 $aoriental religion. 610 $aoriental studies. 610 $apopular religion. 610 $aprotonationalism. 610 $aqi gong. 610 $areligion. 610 $areligious authority. 610 $ascientific knowledge. 610 $asecularism. 610 $asecularity. 610 $asecularization. 610 $asociety. 610 $asociology. 610 $aspirituality. 610 $astate formation. 610 $asuperstition. 610 $atechnological innovation. 610 $aworld religions. 610 $ayoga. 615 4$aChina -- Religious life and customs. 615 4$aIndia -- Religious life and customs. 615 4$aNationalism -- China -- Religious aspects. 615 4$aNationalism -- India -- Religious aspects. 615 4$aReligion and sociology -- China. 615 4$aReligion and sociology -- India. 615 4$aSecularism -- China -- History. 615 4$aSecularism -- India -- History. 676 $a306.6095 700 $avan der Veer$b Peter, $01570886 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790557703321 996 $aThe Modern Spirit of Asia$93844842 997 $aUNINA
