Religion and the Discourse on Modernity - Paul-Francois (The Open University Tremlett - Bog

Offers a major forum for re-reading key theorists in religious studies, with the aim of creating a fresh vision for the study of religions. This work 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.
