Focusing on Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism, this book argues that asceticism must be understood within the boundaries of tradition.

The volume’s original contribution to methodology will be influential in the future development of comparative religious studies.

In this bold interdisciplinary work, Geoffrey Galt Harpham argues that asceticism has played a major role in shaping Western ideas of the body, writing, ethics, and aesthetics.

The collection of papers in this volume was conceived and developed by K. Ishwaran who died in June 1998. Taken together, the articles support Ishwaran’s theses. First, is the point that eremitism and asceticism are far more complex than commonly understood in the scholarly world. If ever a general understanding of these interrelated phenomena is developed, careful examination not only how they are found in these cultures and traditions but also study of their particular manifestations in individual movements, places, cultures and social groups must take place. The range of these papers
