Document Details : Title: Spirituality - a Multifaceted Phenomenon Subtitle: Interdisciplinary Explorations Author(s): WAAIJMAN, Kees Journal: Studies in Spirituality Volume: 17 Date: 2007 Pages: 1-113 DOI: 10.2143/SIS.17.0.2024643 Abstract : This article reflects on the various ways spirituality is studied in academic setting. The author describes and analyses what happens in twelve disciplines: theology, religious studies, philosophy, literary sciences, history, anthropology, psychology, sociology, education, management studies, medicine, and natural sciences. The analysis follows an encyclopedic matrix: words, things, images, texts, histories, processes, relationships, professions, disciplines, and theories. On the basis of this description and analysis, the author discovered patterns of interdisciplanrity. This could be a first step for futher interdisciplinary explorations in the field of spirituality. |
