It places human development along the line of karma (affirmation), jñāna (rejection) and bhakti (accommodation). Those three attitudes can be observed both chronologically, as they describe the societal progress, and synchronically, as they describe individual ways of coping with the world. In this paper the attitude towards the body is being used as a template for understanding the attitude towards the world.

World-affirming religion is exemplifed in Greece by polis religion and the practice of magic, in India by karma (action), in which the world is controlled by ritual. World-rejecting religion is exemplified in both cultures by the attempt to find a supreme principle behind the world of appearances. World-accommodating religion is exemplified by the theurgy of Iamblichus and (much earlier) the individual religiosity of Socrates, and in India by bhakti: what is in the world is ussed for the service of a transcendent but personal deity.
