| Summary: | "Recent historical study shows that we did not always imagine religion in the way we often do today--as a special domain of life or society. The present volume seeks to move the philosophical study of religion beyond the limits of our modern understanding of what counts as 'religion." -- Publisher, page four of cover "Long framed in terms of Christian and secularist concerns, the field of philosophy of religion has recently been attempting to expand to include a wider, more diverse variety of religious phenomena. At the same time, a growing body of literature within religious studies has called attention to the historical genealogy and limitations of the category of 'religion.' If 'religion' is itself a modern, secular extrapolation from Christian understandings, disseminated globally through colonial encounter, does the apparently more capacious approach to philosophy of religion simply reproduce the deficiencies of the old under the guise of a false universal? The present volume seeks to move the field in the direction of a reflexive turn, toward an examination of the philosophical implications of the concept of 'religion.'" --Provided by publisher |
