Résumé
Following Habermas' claim that the discourse on modernity is characterised by a critique of reason that privileges aesthetic experience free from constraints of time and space and by a narrative of increasing rationality, an important point of departure for re-framing debates about theory and method in the study of religions is made available. In Religion and the Discourse on Modernity, Paul Tremlett argues that the aesthetic critique of modernity is constitutive of Marxist and post-modern thought and also of aspects of the phenomenology of religion and its critique of 'profane' existence. He argues further that the Enlightenment promise of progressive rationality is constitutive of liberal and Marxist visions of modernity and the phenomenology of religion with its dream of global religious dialogue. This provides an opening for re-reading the likes of Otto, Eliade, Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, Foucault, de Certeau, Derrida and Bourdieu and for a new vision of the study of religions.
