| Zusammenfassung: | The generic notion of "religion" and its conceptual demarcation from "the secular" have been critically examined by a number of scholars from the "critical religion" perspective. The interrogation of the term "religion," and other related terms, questions modern formations of knowledge and power in general. This paper constitutes part of the project which examines norms and imperatives which govern sociological discourse on religion. Max Weber and Emile Durkheim are particularly significant figures in sociology of religion. The aim of this paper is to historicize the category "religion" (and its opposition "the secular") employed by Weber and Durkheim, in the specific social context of Germany and France in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It hopes to contribute to a greater understanding of the ideological foundation of sociological theories of religion. |
