Description
Résumé:The future of the study of religion/s must be actively envisioned and pursued. In the aftermath of the deconstruction of ‘religion' and the idea of ‘secularization' as imbued with a Western teleology, it is necessary to rethink and reconfigure the study of religion/s against a global horizon. In this essay I propose that we should move out of the unproductive Religious Studies-Theology binary and frame our work in the midst of the humanities. A new mindset is needed for scholarly research on religion, and to achieve this I point at the new vistas arising from a transregional and pluralistic outlook.
