Product Details
In Why Do Religious Forms Matter?, Pooyan Tamimi Arab reflects on the Early Modern roots and contemporary relevance of a materialist perspective on the politics of religious diversity. Taking as a starting point the insight that religions manifest in myriad sensible formsin architecture, in images, in the use of objects in rituals, and in distinctive ways of speakingTamimi Arab traces to Spinoza the material-religion approach prevalent in anthropology and religious studies. It is in Lockes political philosophy, however, that forms are tied to tolerationunderstood as a neutrally applied civil rightwhich Tamimi Arab discusses through contemporary case studies of mosque construction, amplified calls to prayer, and the right to ritual slaughter. Going beyond the Enlightenment criticism and toleration of religions, the book concludes with an inclusive reading of Rawlss ideal of public reason, which assumes forms of discoursereligious and non-religiousto always be several. Religious forms thus turn out to be indispensable to liberal democracy itself.
