Hegel and the Critical Theory of Religion, by Rudolf J. Siebert – Paperback

Description

Hegel and the Critical Theory of Religion: For over fifty years, the critical theorist and professor of comparative religion, Rudolf J. Siebert (b. 1927) has developed his Critical Theory of Religion and Society out of the Frankfurt School’s Critical Theory. Siebert’s Hegelian thought has developed in conversation with Christian Theology, German Idealism, Comparative Religion, Political-Economics, Sociology, Psychoanalysis, and History. In this volume, Siebert demonstrates the centrality of Hegel in the Frankfurt School’s Critical Theory, and develops it further in his emancipatory “Dialectical Religiology.” As philosophers once again turn to Hegel in our troubled times, this book will prove to be a foundational study of the German philosopher of dialectics.

Siebert is Professor Emeritus at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where taught at WMU for over 50 years in the Comparative Religion Department and the Department of Sociology.
