Main Article Content
Abstract
This article aims to analyze criticisms that are made in the Brazilian context, accusing phenomenology of religion of being essentialist and a kind of cryptoteology. This analysis will be conducted from the confrontation of these critiques with the methodological considerations that authors who identify themselves with phenomenology, especially those of Dutch tradition. In order to address these issues, the article is divided in two parts. First, in relation to the critique of essentialism, it will focus on the relationship between history and system, trying to demonstrate in what sense it could be considered as essentialist. Secondly, in relation to the critique of criptotheology, the article shows how these authors attempt to differentiate between theology and phenomenology of the religion. The final purpose of the article is not to establish a defense of phenomenology of religion, but to indicate the need for further discussion of these issues in the Brazilian context, since these themes are much more complex than some criticisms presuppose.
