Produktbeschreibung
Addressing the European study of religion in the interwar-period, these proceedings tackle one of the most problematic epochs of its history. The commonplace that understanding the present requires learning from the past is particularly true, as this case well illustrates.
The study of religion under the spell of fascism has not received due attention. One reason for the noticeable lack of interest was the political involvement of many historians of religions. Among those who had good reason to leave the era of fascism untouched, we find prominent figures in the field. Another obstacle to examining the past impartially has been the connection with religious and other worldviews which render historical accounts in the study of religion an intricate matter. The articles in this volume provide evidence of the great complexity of the problems involved. Laying the groundwork in many cases, they shed new light on a dark and poorly-lit era of the academic study of religion in Europe. Contributors include: Andreas kerlund, Gustavo Benavides, Eugen Ciurtin, Richard Faber, Cristiano Grottanelli, Halina Grzymaa-Moszczyska, Fritz Heinrich, Sigurd Hjelde, Willem Hofstee, Horst Junginger, István Keul, Hiroshi Kubota, Bruce Lincoln, Iveta Leitane, Vasilios N. Makrides, Udo Mischek, Petteri Pietikäinen, Kurt Rudolph, Michael Stausberg, Mihaela Timu, Florin urcanu, Ulrich Vollmer
