RELIGIOUS STUDIES
Prof. Helmut Zander
“In religious studies I’m interested in cultural differences and fault lines. For example: Why is it often difficult to translate a term like “belief” in non-Christian religions? Or: What do we do with the repressed roots of religious studies in the “esoteric” tradition of Theosophy? With my team in Fribourg we explore how religions or traditions are constructed and what role they play in these intercultural exchange processes.”
