The Positive Background of Hindu Sociology c10.s17.8

c10.s17.8

The anthropologico-sociological analysis of the foundations of domestic and social ceremonies, as examined by Hillebrandt in *Ritualliteratur* (pp. 3-8), was well calculated to cry halt to such "*Eigenart*"-philosophies. And of course the data of "new indology" as exhibited during the last generation from diverse fields are eminently adapted to counteract these unobjective tendencies. Some of the interpretations of Hindu culture by Heinrich Lüders and Helmuth von Glasenapp bear testimony to new orientations.²⁸
