important to recognise that Weber concentrated on the first and Durkheim on the second. In pushing through Weber’s thought that soteriology had to be distinguished from other types of religion, and accordingly being concerned with a world outside soteriology-while also recognising that ’Weber, unlike Durkheim, was not interested in analyzing the category of social religion’-I suspect Gellner’s interpretation, as it explores the social pathways by which Newar Buddhism asserted, and continues to assert itself, is being single-mindedly Durkheimian. It is important to be rather careful about the charge being laid here, especially since Gellner (in situating his collection as a whole) is concerned to register a movement
