Abstract:
Pir-Panjals, the Himalayan ranges in Jammu and Kashmir, are home to various communities known for their distinctiveness, heterogeneity and diversity. Such diversity is historically embedded in the fluidity embodied by folds of Panjals. These folds encapsulated social, cultural, and religious plurality within the principalities that thrived here. The Partition of 1947 profoundly altered this by carving lines of demarcation—present day line-of-control—into the landscape. These lines have territorially, religiously and culturally divided ethnicities, including the Paharis of Poonch, known for mul

Abstract:
Mahler’s music offers the opportunity for an enrichment of the unilateral identity paradigm in musicological research through the concept of cultural and aesthetic hybridity. This chapter addresses the plurality of idioms, styles, and voices in Gustav Mahler’s music in the context of the cultural and linguistic heterogeneity which characterises Vienna at the turn of the century. Analytical categories are proposed that are able to serve the plurality and hybridity in Mahler’s music; relevant passages in his work are discussed according to these categories: 1. tragic breakdown (of the musical su

Abstract:
The anthropological literature dealing with Buddhist ethics in the Theravāda countries of South and Southeast Asia may be divided into five categories, whereby ethics is defined as guidelines for right action oriented toward a particular goal: (1) ethics of statehood or political ethics; (2) ethics of salvation or monastic ethics; (3) ethics of engagement, including both social and environmental ethics; (4) karmic ethics for the laity; and (5) ethics of worldly benefit, as emphasized by some modern urban Buddhist movements.

Negotiating Democracy and Religious Pluralism examines the relationship between the functioning of democracy and the prior existence of religious plurality in three societies outside the West: India, Pakistan, and Turkey.

In the subsequent chapters, contributors examine various trajectories of political thought, state policy, and the exercise of social power during and following a transition

The small Kartvelian family is one of the three endemic language families of the Caucasus. The Kartvelian languages are double marking, with nominal case and two sets of person markers in the verb.

In the present chapter, I will argue that its alignment can be most accurately described as split-intransitive, once the considerable number of monovalent d

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the two main opportunities that people have to vote in most societies: elections and referendums. Elections are held to fill seats in parliaments or to choose a president, whereas referendums allow citizens to decide directly on some issue of policy. Elections are the cornerstone of representative democracy, and referendums are sometimes regarded as the equivalent of ‘direct democracy’. In practice, referendums are used only as an option in systems of representative democracy. The chapter first provides an overview of elections and electoral systems, focusing on elector

In systematic zoology and botany, animals and plants are classified and named according to their species, genera, and higher categories (family, order, etc.). Linguistic relationships between the words ‘genus’ and ‘general, generality’ might have played a role in some intuitive meaning of the genus.

Herder uses the image of the spherical shape of the earth as a matrix to evaluate the contrast between plurality and universality: it illustrates the tension between the individuality of diverse peoples and cultures, on the one hand, and the universal identity of the human species, on the other. While Herder’s “globe ontology” implies a rejection of hierarchically structured—and thus normatively laden—theories of history and culture, it does rely on an idea of humanity as a telos embedded in western thinking.

Abstract Forms of Knowledge explores the unity and heterogeneity of knowledge. Human knowledge, as we understand it in the everyday, would appear to make up a complex category, admitting of numerous forms, species, modes, or variations. Reflection on this complexity reveals a whole ecosystem of questions and issues worthy of careful philosophical investigation. Yet contemporary epistemology often tends to downplay the heterogeneity of knowledge, in part through a distinctively narrow focus (familiarly, primarily on ‘receptive’ propositional knowledge) and in part through a tendency to assume,

Abstract:
This chapter describes the duties the agent owes to his principal, which fall into two broad categories. On the one hand, because the majority of agencies will arise out of a contract between principal and agent, the latter will owe well recognized duties at common law—most notably, a duty to perform the mandate with reasonable skill and care. On the other hand, however, equity also wields strong influence over the development of agents’ duties. Therefore, agents have often to be considered both as contracting parties, under customary contractual duties to their principals, and also as fiducia
