Martin Riesebrodt [a93822c1]

people, religion

  • Contests Asad - Formations of the Secular on his denial of the concept of religion
  • Uses a perspectivist approach that he calls 'referential legitimation'
  • Through competition, borrowings, identifications, and syncretisms, religion gets recgonized as religion by its religious peers
  • Agrees with the Durkheimian point of view that religion is a response to crisis, contingency and the limits of human capacities, and the sacrality of society is of limited generalizability.
