In this open access book, Andrea Rota makes the case for philosophical, theoretical, and empirical approaches to the study of religion, drawing on ongoing debates and challenging individualist perspectives.Rota begins with a survey of the work of Michael Bratman, John Searle, Raimo Tuomela, and Margaret Gilbert exploring the relevance of their insights for the study of religion. He sets out a theoretical framework to operationalize their philosophical ideas in an empirical research setting. Applying this framework in Part Two, Rota analyses the collective agency of Jehovah’s Witnesses, focusing on the roles that print and electronic media play in structuring communicative processes that conduce to collective intentions and commitments. He presents extensive fieldwork carried out in Switzerland and Germany, examining both qualitative and quantitative data.By demonstrating the fruitfulness of philosophical perspectives on collective intentionality and social ontology, Rota's study makes a timely contribution to our understanding of the beliefs, emotions, and aesthetic experiences of religious groups.The eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Am 20. Dezember 2012 feierte Richard Friedli seinen 75. Geburtstag. Mit dieser Festschrift sollen seine akademische Karriere sowie seine Person gebührend geehrt werden. Die Beiträge befassen sich aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven mit den zentralen Themen sowohl seiner wissenschaftlichen Karriere als auch seiner Lehrtätigkeit: dem religiösen Faktor in der Friedensforschung, der Rolle der Religionen in den gegenwärtigen Gesellschaften sowie der Begegnung und dem Austausch der Kulturen. Die Beiträge durchzieht das von Richard Friedli immer wieder artikulierte Spannungsfeld von ''global'' und ''lokal'' sowie die Frage nach der sozialen Anwendung religionswissenschaftlichen Wissens.
