The Ideology of Religious Studies: The Ideology of Religious Studies
Paperback Engels 2004 9780195167696Samenvatting
Recent years have seen a growing debate in the religious studies community about the very nature of their enterprise. In this book Timothy Fitzgerald fires another salvo in this ongoing battle, weighing in on the side of those who argue that the concept of "religion" itself should be abandoned. On the basis of his own research in India and Japan, as well as others' texts and ethnographies, he maintains that the so-called study of religions is really a barely disguised form of liberal ecumenical theology. Fitzgerald claims that, rather than being the "science" of religion, the discipline of religious studies is instead an uncritically constituted part of western ideology. He argues that, by critically rethinking the category of "religion," scholars can contribute to the wider opening up the academic agenda to new insights about the nature of human values and institutions.
