To Be or Not to Be Scientific Is Not the Question
In The Archive we republish an article that, in hindsight, may have been ahead of its time with its prescience. Our second pull for this issue is a 2005 piece from Lieve Orye where he discusses the intricacies of categorizing religious studies as an art or a science. He endeavors to find out if the field should be studied with a scientific approach. Orye posits that maybe this is not even a question we should be asking. This piece was originally …

With this typology in mind, the work of Ninian Smart and Wilfred C…
It's About Us

Martin Kusch's work on folk psychology and Ian Hacking's work on 'human kinds' provide an example of how this can take place. The article argues that the study of religion is part of the human sciences and that this area differs from the natural scie…
