- W2495906872 abstract "In the Introduction to this volume we tried to point to the distinctive features of the explanatory theories of religion that emerged in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Comprehensiveness and radicalness were picked out as characteristic of the grand enterprise of constructing and advancing theories of religion in authors such as Marx, Freud and Durkheim. Unlike the more limited attempts to describe and explain religious phenomena in disciplines such as the history of religions, the focus of such theories of religion is not upon specific facts and developments in religion. Rather, the type of theory we are interested in seeks an explanation of religion as a whole — hence comprehensiveness. An explanatory theory of religion which has this aim cannot take the existence and character of religion for granted. The very existence of religion is something that in some way requires explanation. The theorist cannot then be finally content with the small-scale explanations of specific facts in the history of religion, explanations which account for one religious fact in terms of other facts and features of religion. He must suppose that even the most apparently fundamental features of man’s religious life themselves require explanation in terms of things outside religion altogether." @default.
