Document Summary
Mirroring the exact formula in which scholars develop their studies. We are all religious implies: we are all believers in x symbols universal valuable/meaningful ethics/norms religion (sacred, holy, pure) non-religion (irrelevant, profane, mundane) I have a hunch focuses on studying experiences (public, expressed, universal, timeless, deeply felt) cannot be expressed easily with language, non observable. Why are you here: degree, learn, job, buy cool stuff, live comfortably, die with nice things, signi es success, why success, someone told you that you want to be successful to speak with authority. Religious experience is non reducible to any other eld (ex. linguistics, economics etc) it cannot be reduced to anything or explained by any of them. I feel the same way saying this probably doesn"t mean that you feel the same way, its a political move that you make in order to gain reciprocity in an attempt to bond and have people af liate with you.
