Publisher Description: The essays in this volume, contributions to an international symposium at the University of Lausanne in June 1998, represent the perception of the elements as a framework for the history of religions (Maya Burger), exemplified by the Hindu traditions. Each element is treated by a specialist in a different academic field in order to bring out a variety of approaches important to the discipline of the history of religion. Ether (ākāśa) was assigned to philosophy (Wilhelm Halbfass), wind to the history of religion (Bettina B umer), fire to classical philology (Peter Schreiner), water to a specialist on Indian medicine (Arion Roşu) and earth to anthropology (Gabriella Eichinger Ferro-Luzzi, specializing on Tamil literature).
