Psychoanalysis, Culture, and Religion

Converging multiple disciplines, Sudhir Kakar's work represents a breakthrough in Indian social thought and indigenous knowledge systems. This collection of essays by prominent psychoanalysts, sociologists, anthropologists, and cultural theorists celebrates three streams of knowledge-psychoanalysis, culture, and religion-and their confluence in Sudhir Kakar's work as a kind of post-independence renaissance of the Indian mind.
