| Zusammenfassung: | A modest proposal on method' further documents methodological and institutional failings in the academic study of religion. This collection of essayswhich includes three previously unpublished chaptersidentifies the manner in which old problems (like the presumption that our object of study is a special, deeply meaningful case) yet remain in the field. But amidst the critique there are a variety of practical suggestions for how the science of religion can become methodologically even-handed and self-reflexivethe markings of a historically rigorous exercise. Each chapter is introduced and contextualized by a newly written, substantive introduction.0 |
