Description
Summary:The present essay is focused on the latest results of Jan Assmann's research, in particular on the aspects which have an impact on the sphere of interreligious dialogue. While on the one hand the German Egyptologist intended to highlight the original mechanism of religious violence, on the other he ventured into fields that have deeply to do with the encounter between different faiths. Among the main themes, there is the idea of the recovery, within monotheisms, of the essence of the hermeneutics of translatability typical of ancient polytheisms, the problematization of the concept of origin and the idea of religio duplex, which is an interreligious proposal for our time, stemming from a careful analysis of religious modernity. According to Assmann, if religion intends to face the challenges of globalization, it can only be a "twofold" religion, i.e. a religion on two levels: one particular, historical, and one universal, transcendental, and located inside the consciousness of the individual.
