Short description:
This work considers the intellectual history of religious recognition. The concept is usually thought to begin with Hegel but this work takes a much broader sweep, moving from the New Testament to the modern day connecting the history of religion with philosophical approaches.
MoreLong description:
During the last twenty years, the theory of recognition has become an established field of philosophy and social studies. Variants of this theory often promise applications to the burning political issues of current society, such as the challenges of multiculturalism, group identity, and conflicts between ideologies and religions. The seminal works of this trend employ Hegelian ideas to tackle the problem of modernity. Although some recent studies also investigate the pre-Hegelian roots of recognition, this concept is normally considered to be a product of the secular modernity of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Recognition and Religion: A Historical and Systematic Study challenges this assumption and claims that important intellectual roots of the concept and conceptions of recognition are found in much earlier religious sources.
Risto Saarinen outlines the first intellectual history of religious recognition, stretching from the New Testament to present day. He connects the history of religion with philosophical approaches, arguing that philosophers owe a considerable historical and conceptual debt to the religious processes of recognition. At the same time, religious recognition has a distinctive profile that differs from philosophy in some important respects. Saarinen undertakes a systematic elaboration of the insights provided by the tradition of religious recognition. He proposes that theology and philosophy can make creative use of the long history of religious recognition.
an exercise in analysis, discrimination and interpretation is called for and this is what Professor Risto Saarinen has provided in a very useful study, which has particular relevance to ecumenical theology and dialogue. He draws on recent work in the social sciences, the etymology of words for recognition in several languages, the history of the idea in philosophy and theology and on ecclesiological texts to provide a survey and analysis of both language use and theological thinking in this area. To take the language of recognition more seriously, with the help of this book, will guide our theology into a more personalist and relational mode.
