Religion After Religion: Gershom Scholem, Mircea Eliade, and Henry Corbin at Eranos Paperback - 1999

by Steven M. Wasserstrom


First line

The "Jung-Eliade school of thought" exhibited a peculiarly equivocal attitude towards religion.

From the rear cover

"By focusing on Scholem, Corbin, and Eliade, Steven Wasserstrom has brought to light many of the tacit assumptions that have informed the study of religious culture in our time. Particularly important is his attentiveness to the primary emphasis placed on the symbolic imagination in these three seminal thinkers and the impact that this orientation had on their assessment of history, politics, and ethics. Wasserstrom has produced a study that will have major implications for the way that historians of religion think about their own discipline."--Elliot R. Wolfson, New York University
