Professor Julius Lipner - Hinduism: the challenges of a polycentric approach to shaping our world

Update: 2015-02-12

Description

Hinduism is by far the majority culture of India, which is set fair to become a superpower in the next few decades. How then does the polycentric, decentralizing phenomenon of Hinduism influence and guide the gaze of Hindus at the world and help determine their interactions with it, especially in the context of modernity and its counteracting forces? And what can we learn from this encounter?
