More about the book
The book explores the philosophy of religion through the lens of primal religions, focusing on the concept of "translational understanding" as defined by Robin Horton. It emphasizes the challenge of translating complex belief systems into contemporary terms that resonate globally, moving beyond simple word-for-word translations. The author aims to uncover the significance of these belief systems in the lives of their practitioners, which requires a deep engagement with the underlying concepts and intentions, often necessitating creative redefinitions.
