BAIRD, ROBERT D.

Category Formation and the History of Religions (Religion & Reason)

Berlin & New York: Mouton De Gruyter, 1991. First Edition. Paperback. ISBN: 3110128217. 178 pages. Covers plasticised. Slight wear to spine, covers and corners. ; "Category Formation and the History of Religions" by Robert D. Baird is an insightful exploration into the academic practice of categorizing religious phenomena, which plays a pivotal role in the study and understanding of world religions. Baird critically examines how different categories have been constructed, applied, and evolved within the field of religious studies. His analysis focuses on the implications these categorizations have on both scholarly discourse and the perception of religion in broader society. He argues that the categories used in the history of religions are not merely neutral, objective classifications but are deeply influenced by cultural, political, and theological biases. The book offers a thorough review of key categories such as "myth," "ritual," "sacred," and "profane," showcasing how these have shaped academic and popular understandings of religious life. Baird advocates for a more reflexive and critical approach to the study of religion that acknowledges the constructed nature of these categories and encourages scholars to consider their impact on both academic research and the communities studied. This work is a significant contribution to the field, prompting a reevaluation of how religion is categorized and studied. ; Octavo; 178 pages. Good+ with no dustjacket .
