Die Entdeckung der inneren Welt

The historical foundations of the discovery of our »inner world« in the history of religion and the humanities extend from antiquity to the present. This volume traces the relevance of the increasingly tense relationship between theology and psychology, especially in the modern era, by means of historical and contemporary issues and, above all, focuses on the potentials of their interdisciplinary reconnection: in recourse to the discourse on emotions of the recent past, the contributions explore new lines of connection between the mostly highly specialised theological, psychological and anthropological research perspectives on the »inner world« of religion.
