520 |a This article suggests that enhanced understanding of religion may result from an incursion into the realm of aesthetics. Beginning with Weber's brief and fragmentary allusion to art as an alternative to religion, it pursues parallels between religious and artistic phenomena through an inspection of various commentaries on aesthetics. In the process, it indicates the functionally inclusive character of many conceptions of art. Discerning elements of Weber's view of aesthetics in the writings of Nietzche, it considers the destinies of both art and religion under conditions of disenchantment. Despite Weber's pessimism, it asserts that epitaphs to art are as dubious as obituaries to religion are premature. It concludes by recommending the collaboration of sociologists of religion in broad, interdisciplinary cultural analyses of the human imagination.
