Klappentext zu „The Essence of Phenomenology and Its Meaning for the Scientific Study of Religion “
Religious studies is rife with confusion over what the phenomenology of religion is. Conventional approaches dwell on the dissimilarity of the meanings of 'phenomenology' and 'phenomenology of religion' and ignore their synonymy. The purpose of this book is to challenge this trend by examining seven significant historical examples of philosophical phenomenology in order to develop a synthetic definition of 'phenomenology' which will both resolve the perceived conflicts in meaning and lead to a useful augmentation of religious methodology.

Rezension zu „The Essence of Phenomenology and Its Meaning for the Scientific Study of Religion “
This is a philosophically demanding work of the highest order. The quality and precision of its thought represent a definite advance in the understanding of phenomenology. This foundational study will be of great value to anyone working in this field and is an indispensable reference work for all scholarly libraries. (Ursula King, University of Leeds) Ryba has written an outstanding study on phenomenology. ... (He) considers his definition more universal, more comprehensive, more methodologically rigorous, and more easily articulated than previous philosophical definitions. ... Thomas Ryba's study is a profound and challenging one, and I was impressed after reading it. (Wim Hofstee, Method & Theory in the Study of Religion) There is little question that Ryba succeeds brilliantly in showing that the meaning of phenomenology can be constrained. His success is due to the close attention he pays both to the development of the phenomenological method and to the models proposed by phenomenologists in their theorizing about their subject matter. The book will be invaluable for all scholars interested in the subject.(E. Thomas Lawson, Journal of Religion) Thomas Ryba...offers a detailed and sophisticated treatment of the many forms of philosophical phenomenology and their relation (or lack of) to the phenomenology of religion. (Russell T. McCutcheon, Review of Religious Research) ...all of us in the fields of history, literary criticism, philosophy of religion and phenomenology proper have much to learn from the scope of Ryba's work and the excellence of his innovative scholarship. (Kathleen M. Haney, Religion)
