Title | Dharma and the enjoined subject: Jaimini’s Mīmāṃsāsūtras and the study of ritual |
Authors | Ngaihte, S. |
Abstract | This thesis is an enquiry into the conception of dharma by Jaimini in his Mīmāṃsāsūtras with the aim of arguing for its contemporary relevance, particularly for the scholarship on ritual. It seeks to do this by offering a hermeneutical re-reading of the text, primarily by investigating the theme of the relationship between subjectivity and tradition in the discussion about dharma, and bringing it into conversation with contemporary discourses on ritual. |
