@article{Engberg-Pedersen_2014, title={Religion som verdenshåndtering}, volume={77}, url={https://tidsskrift.dk/dtt/article/view/105699}, DOI={10.7146/dtt.v77i1.105699}, abstractNote={<p>The article discusses two questions: whether (and in what<br />sense) Christianity can be ‘naturalized’; and whether ancient Stoicism<br />may contribute to a modern reformulation of ‘Christianity naturalized’.<br />To answer these questions, the article focuses on articulating an understanding<br />of ‘religion’ in relation to ‘science’. Building on the account<br />given of the philosophical discipline of ‘ethics’ by Hilary Putnam in<br />Ethics without Ontology, the article attempts to construct a structurally<br />similar understanding of ‘religion’ (and its philosophical counterpart,<br />‘theology’) that will give it a legitimate position ‘in an age of science’<br />(cf. Putnam, Philosophy in an Age of Science). ‘Religion’ is here seen as<br />one particular way of ‘coping with the world’. The article concludes<br />by sketching some ways in which ancient Stoicism (as a specimen of a<br />‘natural philosophy and theology’) may help in reformulating an adequate,<br />contemporary understanding of Christianity.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Dansk Teologisk Tidsskrift}, author={Engberg-Pedersen, Troels}, year={2014}, month={mar.}, pages={27–45} }
