Religijny wymiar samospaleń jako wzbogacenie analizy socjologiczno-politologicznej: próba systematyzacji zjawiska samospaleń w ujęciu interdyscyplinarnym
The Religious Dimension of Self-Immolation as an Enrichment of Sociopolitical Analysis: An Attempt at Systematizing the Phenomenon of Self-Immolation in an Interdisciplinary Perspective

Summary/Abstract: The phenomenon of self-immolation occurs in almost the entire Asian continent, being especially popular with Buddhists. Because of Western values, selfimmolation remains a misunderstood act. This type of action is often classified as a political protest, and the analysis of this phenomenon is limited to sociopolitical perspectives. In the article, the author attempts to enrich this analysis with a religious factor, postulating interdisciplinary studies of the phenomenon.
