| Summary: | Friedrich Rudolf Lehmann (1887-1969) was one of those German scholars who tried to combine Ethnology and History of Religions. Lehmann was mainly concerned with Ethnology and did field-work in East-Africa in 1939 and from 1941 until the 1950s in South Africa. As a German citizen he was interned at the beginning of World War II, but released due to the intervention of the Witwatersrand- University. Because of his sociological approach he could be described as a social anthropologist. His empirical and analytical research-work made him to one of the first critics of the rising Phenomenology of Religion. He blamed the exponents of this school for being unscientific, because assumptions about the »Holy« could not be the foundation of Religious Studies. |
