Hardback. Condition: New. What are some of the most distinctive features of the crisis characterising the social sciences learning today? Can a crisis of this deep-rooted and extremely wide-ranging nature be delimitated to a few specific areas? Can the social sciences diverse dilemmas be reduced to the feature of crisis alone?This book argues that the social sciences are in a deep state of crisis. Kléber Ghimire analyzes how some of the basic problems began from the very inception: uncritical use of empiricism and experimentation methods emulating the natural sciences, internal fragmentation of knowledge along narrow disciplinary lines, and near-exclusive emphasis on the experience of industrial societies. As these difficulties persist, more recent evolutions have brought additional troubles. With a focus on Europe, North America and Asia, Kléber Ghimire examines the effects of university reforms that give prominence to expertise-oriented research, economic rationality and occupational skill development, leading to a widespread marginalisation of the social and human studies. The book ends with a call to reflect upon opening a new horizon for these fields of learning, especially by inventing a new era of social sciences pedagogy, leaving natural sciences for humanities and recognizing the value of culture as a crucial reservoir of social knowledge.…

Loin des approches occidentales classiques du sacré, il décrit une religiosité quotidienne, diffuse, tolérante, dans laquelle rites et croyances répondent moins à une foi dogmatique qu'à des besoins émotionnels, sociaux ou esthétiques. À travers l'analyse de pratiques telles que les visites aux temples et sanctuaires, les cultes aux ancêtres ou les superstitions, le texte montre comment la religion s'inscrit dans une logique de confort psychologique et de maintien du tissu familial et communautaire. Plutôt que de se pencher sur la croyance ou la doctrine, l'ouvrage interroge ce que « croire ' signifie aujourd'hui au Japon: un rapport libre à la spiritualité, contextuel, souvent symbolique. Parallèlement, l'auteur cherche à montrer à quel point il est difficile de saisir pleinement les pratiques religieuses japonaises à l'aune de leur valeurs intrinsèques tout en essayant d'éviter de les idéaliser.…
