Multiple Secularities Working Paper #4

C. Pierce Salguero's Working Paper on Healing and/or Salvation? The Relationship Between Religion and Medicine in Medieval Chinese Buddhism is now online in our publications section. Pierce investigates how the boundaries between healing and salvation are discursively constructed and defended in Buddhist discourses. His analysis focuses on the language, categories, and logics internal to the Buddhist texts themselves.
