Genealogies of Religion PDF

In Geneologies of Religion, Talal Asad explores how religion as a historical category emerged in the West and has come to be applied as a universal concept. The idea that religion has undergone a radical change since the Christian Reformation—from totalitarian and socially repressive to private and relatively benign—is a familiar part of the story of secularization. It is often invokved to explain and justify the liberal politics and world view of modernity. And it leads to the view that |politicized religions| threaten both reason and liberty. Asad's essays explore and question all these assumptions. He argues that |religion| is a construction of European modernity, a construction that authorizes—for Westerners and non-Westerners alike—particular forms of |history making.| -- James R. Wood
