Truth, Meaning, and the Study of Religion
This paper focuses on two contrasting approaches to the theory of linguistic meaning and asks how they color a range of issues of interest to scholars of religion. The so-called truth-conditional approach makes truth basic. It trades on the thought that we sometimes or perhaps often know what someone has said when we know what it would be for what she has said to be true. The other approach pegs meaning to how expressions and sentences are used i…
Kant and the Meaning of Religion: The Critical Philosophy and Modern Religious Thought
Kant and Religion is a subtle and penetrating attempt, by a leading contemporary philosopher of religion, to redefine and reshape the contours of his own discipline through sustained reflection on Kant's so-called 'humanizing project'

Discourse on Civility and Barbarity: A Critical History of Religion and Related Categories. By Timothy Fitzgerald
At the heart of Discourse on Civility and Barbarity: A Critical History of Religion and Related Categories is Timothy Fitzgerald's striking claim that the distinction between “religion” and “nonreligion” has come to serve “as an ideological operator that destabilizes any practices that seem to challenge the interests of American power” (41). It is a study in the historical context and consequences of the redefinition of “religion” and stands in t…
Ritual and the Sacred: A Neo-Durkheimian Analysis of Politics, Religion and the Self
Teaching Durkheim
Emile Durkheim's work on religion occupies a central place in religious studies classrooms today. Durkheim is widely taught, in the social sciences and in phenomenology and history of religions. This diverse classroom use within religious studies is reproduced in other disciplines, where Durkheim's work on religion is regularly taught in courses in sociology, anthropology, history, and philosophy, as well as in such interdisciplinary programs as …

Is "space" a concept? Kant, Durkheim, and French Neo-Kantianism
According to Kant, all humans share a basic form of spatial representation—space is an “a priori intuition.” Durkheim felt that Kant's a priori stance blocked the kind of empirical inquiry that would show human spatial representation to be, on the contrary, quite diverse. Durkheim's claim raises the issues in intellectual history and philosophy addressed in this paper. First, the paper traces Durkheim's reading of Kant through the nineteenth-cent…
Constraints on interpretation: A reply to Wayne Proudfoot
In Religious discourse and first person authority (Godlove 1994), my ques tion was: Why do so many scholars of religion seem to think that religious people are not really talking about what they seem and claim to be talking about, namely, invisible, intelligent powers? I argued that the answer has less to do with scholarly arrogance or reductionism run amok than it does with the very nature of linguistic interpretation. Roughly: An indispensable …
Religious discourse and first person authority
Competent speakers are normally authoritative as to the meaning of their words. Increasingly students of religion seem to be discounting this "first person authority", claiming that religious persons are not - as they seem to be - talking about what Hume called "invisible intelligent powers", gods, goddesses, ancestors, angels, and the like. This interpretative stance has understandably drawn criticism. I argue that the force of first person auth…

Respecting Autonomy and Understanding Religion
My topic is a long-standing tension in the interpretation of religion. On the one hand, it seems undeniable — seems almost to go without saying — that liturgical and sacrificial practices, sacred dance, divination, procession and pilgrimage are intentional actions undertaken by persons. Yet there is a distinguished tradition in the study of religion according to which religious activity is typically caused by forces over which the agent has littl…

WHERE DO CATEGORIESsuch as space, time, quantity, quality, and relation purchase their peculiar necessity and universality? For Kant, the answer lies with the realization that objects of experience must conform to those conditions under which experience is possible.
