Abstract
To quote this article: Hardy, Edmund. 2023. “What is the Science of Religion? A Contribution to the Methodology of Historical Research on Religion.” Transl. by Oliver Krüger / Graeme Currie. AЯGOS 2 (2) Special Issue Hardy 125, 37-54. DOI: 10.26034/fr.argos.2023.4429. Licence by AЯGOS and the translators. Visit https://www.journal-argos.org. The term “Science of Religion” [Religionswissenschaft] has been used in different ways by different authors. Some even avoid this expression altogether, claiming that only the designation “history of religion” [Religionsgeschichte] is valid. To the extent that this is not merely a dispute over words, but rather the expression of a principled standpoint, we cannot be spared an examination of the reasons upon which this view is based.
