For a long time, the philosophically difficult topic of religious
experience has been on the sidelines of phenomenological research
(with a notable exception of Anthony Steinbock, who focused on
mysticism). The book The Problem of Religious Experience: Case
Studies in Phenomenology, with Reflections and Commentaries brings
together preeminent as well as emerging voices in the field, with
fresh views on the topic. Originating from dialogues of the Society
for the Phenomenology of Religious Experience, these two volumes
cover a spectrum of phenomenological approaches, with a
thematization of the field in the form of case studies.
Contributions from theology, comparative religion, psychology and
the philosophy of religion come together in the commentaries and
meta-narrative written by Olga Louchakova-Schwartz (the editor).
Volume I, The Primeval Showing of Religious Experience, examines
religious experience with regard to its lived "interiority", in
light of the problem of the ego cogito, including the recent
research on the embodiment of subjectivity and phenomenological
materiality. Volume I also sheds light on religious experience in
regard for the problems of its constitution, passive synthesis, the
world, and otherness. Volume II, Doxastic Perspectives in the
Phenomenology of Religious Experience, addresses the phenomenology
of revelation, shows how different approaches treat the question of
essence in religious experience (i.e., what is it that makes
religious experience religious?), and demonstrates how religious
experience contributes to the psychological horizon of meaning. The
book identifies the "growing edges" in the phenomenological
research of religious experience and is useful for psychologists,
philosophers, and theologians alike. "The two volumes offer an
excellent interdisciplinary introduction to the phenomenon of
religious experience. The case studies presented in them are
arranged under the central topics of self, alterity, revelation,
and psychological aspects of religious experience and provide
outstanding examples of applied phenomenology." Hans Rainer Sepp,
Charles University, Prague, and Central European Institute of
Philosophy "In the context of the "return of religion," this book
offers both a timely and necessary contribution to confront the
peculiarities of religious experience. Providing readers with
applied phenomenological descriptions in an interdisciplinary
spirit, these debates will prove stimulating for a resurgent field
of research that is starting to refine its conceptual devices and
methodological presuppositions." University of Vienna.
