I38-R402-article-61412025-12-09T16:33:04Z World Religions and Social ThoughtFrom Ernst Troeltsch and Max Weber to Jürgen Habermas and Hans Joas Religiones del mundo y pensamiento socialDesde Ernst Troeltsch y Max Weber a Jürgen Habermas y Hans Joas Wittrock, Björn world religions social theory modernity secularization transcendence religiones mundiales teoría social modernidad secularización trascendencia This paper was drafted on occasion of Hans Joas’ 70th birthday, and published in German, in the book edited by M. Schlette, B. Hollstein, M. Jung and W. Knobl (2022), under the title Idealbildung, Sakralisierung, Religion. Beiträge zu Hans Joas’ Die Macht des Heiligen. After highlighting the contributions of Joas’ social philosophy, Wittrock shows the main traits of the history of social theory regarding the scientific research of world religions. This reconstruction places the questions asked and the answers provided within their historical context, while at the same time it identifies some persisting questions, such as the place and role of world religions compared to other religious phenomena, or that of the relationship between Christianity and Modernity. Further, a central asset of this article is the reconstruction of the sociological and philosophical understanding of the Axial Age. After these preparatory and reconstructive parts, Wittrock focuses his analysis upon the most recent works —until then— of Habermas and Joas regarding the discourse on the Axial Age, in order to show their tensions and inherent capabilities facing the current experiences of secularization and transcendence. Este trabajo fue escrito con ocasión del festejo de los 70 años de Hans Joas, y publicado en alemán en el libro editado por M. Schlette, B. Hollstein, M. Jung and W. Knobl (2022), con el título Idealbildung, Sakralisierung, Religion. Beiträge zu Hans Joas’ Die Macht des Heiligen. Después de resaltar las contribuciones de la filosofía social de Joas, Wittrock muestra los principales rasgos de la historia de la teoría social con relación a la investigación científica de las religiones mundiales. Esta reconstrucción ubica en cada contexto histórico las preguntas que se hicieron y las respuestas que se proveyeron, mientras que al mismo tiempo identifica algunas preguntas persistentes, tales como el lugar y el rol de las religiones mundiales en comparación con otros fenómenos religiosos, o respecto de la relación entre cristianismo y modernidad. Además, un aporte central de este artículo es la reconstrucción de las interpretaciones sociológicas y filosóficas de la era axial. Después de estas partes preparatorias y reconstructivas, Wittrock enfoca su análisis en las obras hasta ese momento más recientes de Habermas y Joas relacionadas con la era axial, para mostrar sus tensiones y capacidades inherentes frente a las experiencias actuales de secularización y trascendencia.
