A Primal Perspective on the Philosophy of Religion

Více o knize

The book explores the philosophy of religion by examining primal religions through the lens of "translational understanding," a concept articulated by Robin Horton. This approach emphasizes not just literal translation but the broader challenge of conveying complex thought systems in terms that resonate with contemporary, globally recognized frameworks. The author acknowledges the difficulty in finding equivalent discourses and the necessity of adapting and redefining ideas to capture their significance within the cultural contexts of the people who utilize them.
