Learning outcomes
History of religions is not a religious discipline, but historical. It is an inductive research based on the investigation of original sources, therefore founded on philology and comparison. It uses the terms “religion” and “religious” for those facts that the historian, due to his own culture and background, considers to be so. Considering the events that he considered to be religious in his own culture, he learns to find analogies and make comparisons with other cultures. In this way he reaches an understanding of some “universals” of humans, which are however concrete, historical facts. These universals will derive from knowledge of ethnology and comparative-history: therefore religion is, in the last analysis, a human universal.
