A Sakta Method for Comparative Theology

Upside Down, Inside Out

Description

A Sakta Method for Comparative Theology: Upside-Down, Inside-Out offers a Sakta thealogy of religions and a Sakta anti-method, method, and a-method for comparative theology. For Saktas, the thread of religious diversity is part of the rich tapestry of cosmological, topographical, environmental, and bio-diversity, which is the Goddess’ collective (sama??i) and individuated (vya??i) forms. Sakta religious diversity is "complex, layered, and paradoxical, allowing ontological similarities, ontological differences, and irreducibility." A Sakta thealogy of religious diversity transcends humans and the borders of religion, politics, society, and speciesism.
