| Summary: | Abstract
In this article, positions on religion in the works of J.P. Jacobsen
and one of his most prominent readers, R.M. Rilke are discussed.
At the centre are similarities and differences in their dealing
with such questions as: the relevance and possibilities for development
of religion in secularized modernity, the relation between atheism
and modernity, and between dogmatic belief and spirituality. The
main focus is on instances in both author’s works where traditional
or dogmatic religion is dismissed, and, at the same time, a future
religion of a new kind is welcomed in utopian, sometimes even visionary,
terms. |
