What Is Religion
Hughes
What Is Religion Hughes - New York Oxford University Press 2021 - xii, 365p. 24 cm.
Includes index
Controversies over how to define the word "religion" have persisted for decades. It is a term of art and of academic study, but also one of governance, technologies, and of networks; it is a concept whose diversity is often its own worst enemy. "Religion" is as much a fuzzy set of conceptualizations and generalizations about a range of human activities as it is an authorizing system of persons, ideas, and practices.
