| Summary: | There is no religion lest there are two religions. Therefore, it is only possible to examine the history of religions by taking the crucial situations of contact into account. Contact needs concepts. Not only scholars but also participants in situations of contact are forced to conceptualize themselves and the other. Taking its point of departure from the contact-based approach to the study of religion, the present volume examines and reassesses a selection of concepts and models (attraction, dynamics and stability, tradition, transcendence/immanence, senses, secret, space) used to come to terms with the phenomenon of contact as the dynamizing element of the history of religions. Es gibt keine Religion ohne zwei Religionen. Daher ist die Erforschung der Religionsgeschichte nur unter Berücksichtigung der entscheidenden Kontaktsituationen möglich. Kontakt braucht Konzepte. Nicht nur Wissenschaftler, sondern auch die Beteiligten an Kontaktsituationen sind gezwungen, sich selbst und den Anderen zu konzeptualisieren. Ausgehend vom kontaktbasierten Ansatz der Religionswissenschaft untersucht und bewertet der vorliegende Band ausgewählte Konzepte und Modelle (Anziehung, Dynamik und Stabilität, Tradition, Transzendenz/Immanenz, Sinne, Geheimnis, Raum), die zur Auseinandersetzung mit dem Phänomen des Kontakts als dynamisierendem Element der Religionsgeschichte verwendet wurden. |
