"Way of Life: King, Householder, Renouncer" is a collection of essays that honor the work of anthropologist Louis Dumont. It explores themes central to Dumont's scholarship, particularly his analysis of Indian society and the concepts of individualism, hierarchy, and the interplay between different ways of life.
The essays often discuss the distinctions between the roles of the king, the householder, and the renouncer in various cultural contexts, emphasizing how these identities shape social organization and values. Contributors may analyze the implications of these roles for understanding broader societal structures, relationships, and religious practices.
