Ancient World Religion and Philosophy - Wille

When thinking about "governance" do not be overly literal and only search for "governance" 

In the religion you are researching, what things have you already learned (or know through personal experience) are considered "governance" 

• Duties
• Morality
• Laws
• Divine rule
• Justice
• And many others

• Most sacred texts do not have subject indexes to them
• Words we use today are often not the words used in these ancient works. This makes doing a word search in an electronic text unhelpful

The best ways to find references to your interests is to:

• Google the name of the religion & the concept you are searching. You are likely to find references to these concepts in the sacred work.
  • For example: (Darmaśāstras) and (rights OR duties OR responsibilities)
• Secondary sources you are using. Pay attention to any references to sacred works and note where the concepts are mentioned.

Search the IRC Search Box (for articles, books, books to borrow from other libraries) using:

• religion/mythology you are researching
• the governance element you have identified
