Touching Philosophy, Sounding Religion, Placing Education

Touching Philosophy, Sounding Religion, Placing Education. Amsterdam: Editions Rodopi, 2002. isbn 9789042011632. This book redefines religious studies as a field in which a plurality of disciplines interact. A social science when understood as a body of knowledge, religion is also marked by discovery, appreciation, orientation, and application — an interplay of the arts and sciences. Teaching religious studies involves the question of the occupation of territories and disentangling occupation from violence. | order from the publisher.
