Pendekatan Fenomenologi dalam Studi Agama Konsep, Kritik dan Aplikasi
Abstract: Phenomenological
approach to the study of religion has played such a significant role in
unraveling mysteries of religious experiences. By bracketing-out (epoché), a
researcher must suspend all of his/her judgments concerning the phenomenon
under investigation in order that he/she may gain the real knowledge of the
religious phenomena and experience as well as the essence of a religion.
However, this approach has been subjugated to many critiques which show that it
is vulnerable on the following areas: the continued philosophical viability of
the phenomenology of religion, the surreptitious theological assumptions or
motives behind this approach, and the public role of scholar in social
community under study.
