Description

Explore how European secularism paradoxically became religiously productive rather than dismissive of religious claims in this scholarly examination of institutional knowledge-making. The Scientification of Religion traces the profound transformation of religious understanding across two centuries as academic disciplines including religious studies, anthropology, psychology, and classical studies emerged in the nineteenth century. These professional frameworks fundamentally reshaped how societies conceptualised and attributed meaning to religion itself. De Gruyter's rigorous historical analysis reveals the complex interplay between modern scientific establishments and European secularism, challenging conventional assumptions about the relationship between scientific progress and religious decline. Essential reading for scholars, students, and anyone seeking to understand how the institutionalisation of academic disciplines reconstructed religious discourse and meaning-making in modern European thought.

Key Features

The Scientification of Religion provides a comprehensive historical examination spanning two centuries of religious discourse transformation from 1800 to 2000 across European thought.

De Gruyter's scholarly work demonstrates how nineteenth-century academic disciplines including religious studies, anthropology, and psychology fundamentally reshaped interpretations of religious meaning.

This study challenges secularism narratives by arguing that scientific establishments actually generated new forms of religious productivity rather than simply negating religious truth claims.

The book analyses how professionalisation of religious knowledge through institutional channels created novel understandings and attributions of meaning to religious traditions.
